Forget all you know or think you know about 21st Century Poetry,
it is not your Great Grandparents Poetry,
it is not your Grandparent's Poetry,
it is not your Parent's Poetry,
it is 21st Century Poetry,
it is your poetry,
an evolution,
revolution
in verse;
see,
21st Century Poets are doing new things,
the old has fallen away.

A Very Special Salutations From Obi Wan Can'obi Layke Pahrk Google Blog
The Times,
They Are a Changin'
(and Bob Dylan's a Turnin' in His Sleep)
As Prez Trump, Rump Chump,
releases the ICE Hounds to herd up
Illegal/Undocumented/Criminal Immigrants/Aliens/Criminals
to save the United States of America
for himself and his billionaire buddies
let us reread a Poem from 1946
and some NEW SHIT!
(same as the old shit)
that, sadly, are once again timely,
if they ever went out of fashion;
we've added U. S. updates to honor
Donald J. Trump and his 2nd prez term,
that could become a third or more...
An Open Letter for GLBTQ+
Greetings, Violet, Lily, & Ben, et al,
My sisters and brothers in the fight against stupidity and hate,
as GLBTQ People, our lives are Politicized,
we will always be on the front lines in our lives, YOUR Life,
do not hesitate to live
openly, honestly, and knowing, what we do as individuals
good, bad, or ugly,
reflect on our GLBTQ Sisters & Brothers, regardless of how they identify.
I am serious as a heart attack when I tell you,
we will always be surrounded by small minds that
cannot see the full spectrum of God's Creation,
this is why it is so important that you leave your comfort zones even more so and
ACT UP! Damn the freaking haters,
Be fearless! Be FIERCE! Be kind! Set the Positive Example!
Do you think I like being in front of people?
Spilling my opinions on a Google Blog?
Being Openly, Wicked Queer in public?
I do not, never have, I have extreme stage fright, anxiety,
I do it because I must face my fears,
and put a Face on GLBTQ+,
it doesn't get easier,
like cleaning a diner grease trap, blech, just do it, thank you, Nike;
I learned to use the nervous energy to my advantage
amazing, astounding the masses,
blowing minds, changing attitudes and making friends.
If you want to talk, hang out, in public, in private, have adult beverages and smokes,
I and Others Like me, are here for you and yours.
I am out since 1995, on stage since 1991,
I damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead and
fairy magic happens.
I am with you all in spirit along the Way.
Thankfully, there are more Allies than haters across the country
and there could be some extreme blow-back in the Regime's face;
I say 'could be' as some allies may be too scared of consequences
to take action for their family, friends, and neighbors.
God is with us even in Detention Centers.
Remember,
I may not know you,
yet,
I love you.
Thank you for being You.
"See to it that no one takes you captive
through hollow and deceptive philosophy."
Colossians 2:8
Now...
Please, welcome,

First they came for the Communists (Immigrants)
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist (an Immigrant)
Then they came for the Socialists (Transsexuals/Genders)
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist (Transsexual/Gender)
Then they came for the trade unionists (Homeless)
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist (Homeless)
Then they came for the Jews (Homosexuals)
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew (Homosexual)
Then they came for me (Naturalized/Natural Born Citizens)
And there was no one left
To speak out for me (Naturalized/Natural Born Citizens)
Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.
With our Proof of Citizenship & Gender Papers in order, in hand,
let us all begin to...
Act Up
to behave in an unruly or improper way,
or to become active again after being quiet;
to cease to be invisible
and a refusal to be quiet ever again;
to go loudly and proudly,
kicking, screaming, being who we are to our grave.
Silence = Death
The squeaky wheel gets the grease
or detained
depending on who's running the show.
Even the rocks and stones
begin to SING!
(JC Superstar)
Pote Note: tho our background is in Christ's Teachings
"God" represents, All Creator Higher Powers,
we recognize the full spectrum of Faith Philosophies
from All Walks of Religious Thought,
without Faith...
Love the Deity of Your Choice,
and Your Neighbor
as Yourself,
most of all,
Love Yourself,
You Are Wonderful.
