These poems are for all, yet mainly for one,
A great love of my life, she hangs the sun.

4/5
I know someday, she’ll need courage too,
It will rise from within, fierce and true.

For ink, and for voice, and the will to defy,
Are loves that keep living, refusing to die.
This history we create, is proof we stand,
With trembling voice and shaking hand.

3/5
Mourning the world they deserved to see,
Where all can stand tall and all can walk free.
Our crew will keep climbing that towering wall,
We fight for their future and answer the call.

Words are our armor, our creed, our song,
A record of love when the world went wrong.

2/5
No silent surrender, I chose to fight,
To write through dark and summon the light.

The country askew, corrupted by lies,
Truth has been twisted and decency dies.
Government poisoned by greed and deceit,
Evil empowered, it tramples the weak.

Gaga Took A Sharp Left🇺🇸 @gagaknowsbest30.bsky.social · 14d

1/5
When all is said and the battles are through,
Know that we fought for the light that is you.
Kids are the future, unbroken, unbowed,
No child should live under tyranny’s cloud.

Poems of resistance and rebel refrains,
Proof that love endures through the pains.

Corrupt power will falter, the mighty will fall,
Then love, not oppression, will triumph for all.

4/5

They cast out the flock at an idol’s demand,
With no truth revealed, no glimpse of God’s hand.

So march in daylight, cry justice and peace,
Our love for the Teachers will never decrease.

Fundamentalists cry, “We’re victims, oppressed!”
White privilege abounds, yet still they are blessed.
Jesus said, power corrupts and deceives,
Righteous is found in the least who believe.

Fundamentalists punish, scorn, and condemn,
Jesus heals wounds, calls strangers his friend.

2/5

Jesus saw bodies as temples of grace,
Not tools for control, nor marks of disgrace.

Fundamentalists cheer when violence wins,
“If God’s on our side, it’s no longer sin.”
Jesus said, Blessed are peacemakers too,
Swords will destroy both the killer and you.

Fundamentalists say women should bow,
Jesus walked with them then, walks with them now.
He broke every custom, shattered the shame,
Lifted the lowly, restored them by name.

Fundamentalists say sex is a chore,
Just procreation, nothing more.

4/5

I don’t want it to be this way…
Damn, I’m just feeling tired today.
So tired of what seems an endless fight,
We can’t sleep while they gain might.

So again… we will rise!
Rise angry! Rise loud!
Rise tired! Rise proud!

The wheel spins fast, the code words fly,
Bodies fall… no one asks why.

When blood has dried, they take their claim,
Preach of “unity” while feeding flame.

2/5

Matchsticks flare but not their hand,
The faithful rise, they take their stand.
Seething rage with none to lose,
They strike the mark their prophets choose.

Chaos breaks, the headlines scream,
The pundits run, the Feds wipe clean.

I don’t want it to be this way!
Poison whispers, dark decay.
Stories sharpened, edges bleed,
Plants of fear that become seed.

“They are coming!” comes the roar,
Wrapped in flags, they pound the floor.
One voice, then another cries,
Till gospel grows from endless lies.

History remembers, a warning we keep,
We need calls to awaken, not fall asleep.
Fight to unite, to heal, to mend,
For truth, for the living , on this we depend.

Trump does not rise, he sinks,
He does not unite, he fans the brinks.
He is the storm, shaking the core,
Leaves the nation lost in night, once more.
