POEM: K.H.A. (Keeping Hope Alive)
this is for the single mothers… this is for the underpaid fathers… this is for their kids still wondering why santa didnt make it… this is for the unloved children in broken homes and those forgotten in foster homes this is for those who never had a home and every day is a fight for survival …just keep hope alive this if for innocent convicts enduring their eternal date with steel...

and seeing the beauty in everything
as if wearing lenses to filter out the darkness
but really just bringing out the light
enough to outshine the rest
before i could even take my seat
next to you on this plane

POEM: MayDay 5/1/11
[DC]

[Bahrain]

hands stained

Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
- Martin Luther King Jr.
