POETRY
My current poetry project is a full length book called “Pictures in My Mind.” Since many publishers only want material that has not been published anywhere, I decided to write poetry and short stories especially for this site.
Check out “My Blog” for new poetry posts just for you!
I will also be posting super fast flash fiction.
The Colony
They brought us to the island of despair
To make a home
They left us here
They didn’t want to think of us
It was a conscience thing
They didn’t want to see us die
They didn’t want to catch it
The island called THE GIVEN GRAVE
Was our jail
They isolated out disease
And took away our dignity
They didn’t want to touch us
They took us from our families
They didn’t want to breathe our air
Generation after each
They left us here
Then out of fear
They found a cure
And about a hundred years later
They want to set us free
They say they’ll make us clean
And give us their disease
Why can’t they leave us here?
