No race war

June 29, 2020

There will be no race war.
We will stand strong.
You will not pull us apart at the seams.

There will be no race war.
We are one people.
As a nation we will support unity.

There will be no race war.
My family is color,
And so is yours, if you look close enough.

There will be no race war.
Love is stronger than hate.
I will not fall into the abyss of name calling.

There will be no race war
when we stand together,
when we reject your crude and hateful stance.

We are a nation of immigrants,
a nation of colors,
each one a flower of humanity.

Don’t tell me I’m wrong,
my brother, my sister,
my father and mother, my neighbor, my friend.

Your insecurity betrays you,
Your insanity is evident,
There will be no race war
because we are one.

Shall I kill my brother?
Shall I hate my own sister?
There will be no race war
because we are one.

Covid-19 poem

June 28, 2020
I miss you.
I miss you all.
I miss coffeeshops, having people over, laughing next to others.
I miss college football games, BIG crowds, especially my alma mater’s,
singing the Purdue fight song, even from my living room.
I miss going into a damn store and picking out my own STUFF.
I miss WORK. I miss PEOPLE.
I miss having a conversation.
I still love people,
I still pray for you.
I still have a phone,
and will see you on zoom.
I’m still here.
We shall live through this,
to a better time.
