Oval Circus

Oval Circus, a poem.

The false king,

in the oval circus vested

the wisdom from his jester

of his buffoon, discernment.

*

Countless clowns,

upside down crosses

the false king

amok runs his horses.

*

Puppets and pawns ignore disbelief

the circus on fire

the tarp breaks apart

the herald, breathes fire.

*

Paupers and peasants

observe with regret

the noise becomes louder

a voice screams, you’re jested!

In God’s Image – A poetic Rant

When you call out inclusion, I am insulted; I believe I am a part already.

When you want to lower standards for me, I am underrated; I have high standards.

How can there be equality when I am being set apart as being different or less than by the same policies that claim equity?

Your policies are intended to keep me down, but I have never seen myself as a victim.

I am made in the image of God, and in God I trust.
