a cockroach forever

January 8, 2026

“The U.S. will withdraw from 66 international groups. The U.S. will exit the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The list also includes agreements and groups on renewable energy, oceans, piracy, counterterrorism, and empowerment of women.”

Is this the plan, then?

Stop forward movement,

stop being part of the world,

stop cooperation, consultation,

while taking over other sovereign nations,

taking away freedoms people DIED to achieve?

This is the backwards wave

right before the new one comes in

and covers it over, moves us forward again.

Even if this lasts a generation or two,

you cannot stop it!

We already taste it,

we know who we are,

one world, under God,

with liberty and justice for all.

You are the sickening backlash,

the spit that comes up your throat

before you swallow it.

This is the cry of the bird

before being SET FREE.

You cannot stop the advancement of women to full equality!

You cannot stop the oneness of humanity!

We will arise again from ashes, if need be,

while you go to your grave,

absolutely penniless, without spirit,

unprepared, a cockroach forever

in the life beyond.

I cry for you, America

November 12, 2024

I cry for you, America,

home of the brave, land of the free,

I cry for you, America,

it is of thee that I sing,

O beautiful, for spacious skies,

for amber waves of grain,

Our National Parks will be ripped apart,

there is money to be made.

We are a nation of immigrants,

have we forgotten on whose land we stand?

Our forefathers took land from others

who were here, before we were,

still others came in slavery

to build our economy,

their backs were broken in southern fields,

their children sold away,

so this is not the first time

people have suffered in your name,

America, home of the brave,

the world’s icon for liberty,

America, I weep for a nation

still blind to your own cruelty.
