Writing
Welcome to my writing page where I showcase some of my written and visual poetry inspired by nature, philosophy, and politics.
I’ve also created a YouTube channel to share some of my poetry videos.

The Monger
We slept with spoon-fed dreams of freedom and liberty.
We dreamt only for ourselves and privileged posterity.
What was once far away, tales of horror and tragedy.
What little We the People did, united only by apathy.
Closer now, the danger. More frantic now, the hunger.
The tempest set his sight upon a once-glorious shore,
and took aim at the giant’s torch beside the golden door.
The Mother of Exiles acknowledged the monger of tyranny,
“They have not forsaken me. They will fight your cruelty.”
Quicker now, he moves. More feral now, the monger.
He smiled as he slithered through that still brilliant door,
whereupon he screeched, “Give me your tired, your poor!”
The masses awoke to their doom, a tempest-tost fate,
for they allowed the monger in and let his flame stoke hate.
Hope Reigns Infernal
It is a truth few wish to recognize
that Despair will befriend each of us.
Through the loss of mind, love, or death,
to Despair, we will all be exposed thus.
Yet like a rose that blooms from the night,
Hope, too, will bloom from hopelessness.
And as we seek solace in desperate times,
we are reminded of Hope’s fulfilling promise.
To those who receive Hell as a destination,
You can walk with Despair’s grief or Hope’s mirth.
For if Hope reigns eternal, it can also reign infernal
And you shall find light in the valley of the shadow of death.
