* Dear White House * Here I have restored Truth & Sanity to our 🇺🇸 history: It was a lot of violence & gore And mostly white men are guilty. (Ok, you owe me A whole lot of money) 💰 😀 Disrespectfully, Lord Frederick #satire #poetry

* What Women Want is Words * Don’t send photos in the nude As if you’re rutting in the herd. Take it from a poet, dude, What women want is words. Some say give her flowers Obtained from a good florist. I tried it once for hours— She ignored the whole damn forest.

Poem for Women Wednesday ~ Dr. Maya C. Popa -Year —a word for grief that doesn't rhyme with thief./ The first time we met, we said goodbye; then we never stopped saying it. 🤍
Year
Maya C. Popa
I wouldn't be who I am if I could bear the foliage,
the hour losing its precious light
like a knight bleeding out through a hole in the armor.
I wouldn't be, if I could, any more than that—
light on burnt leaves while the hurt worked
its anchor, the chain eased slowly like a tongue,
a word for grief that doesn't rhyme with thief.
Any day now, autumn.
Winter any day.
I've shot my arrow and lived by its arc
and still, the hours won't acquit.
The first time we met we said goodbye,
then we never stopped saying

Maybe tonight you don’t want a clown… Maybe next year? In the meantime, here’s a song sung by a number of women I used to know… Called “Don’t Send in the Clown”: 🎶 Damn you! Damn you! Can’t you feel pain? Children still die in the streets You give me champagne… 🥂

On this day in 1917, Fannie Lou Hamer was born. She became a civil rights crusader who risked her life in mobilizing to make the right to vote a practical reality for people of color. She asked: “Is this America, the land of the free and the home of the brave?” #WeTheMen
