Together We Stand

Tether desires to judge
One chained to all
Gathers power to resist
Energizes the human spirit
Triumphs over self doubt
Hearts can be healed
Enemies can be friends
Real freedom begins with
We the people; everyone
Enabling every living soul
Same rights and opportunity
To enjoy earth’s abundance
And freedom of choice
Nature’s gift to humanity
Divest hatred and bigotry

Rainbows

Radiant colors of love
Arc with seven spectral
Iridescent visions of life
Nirvana fill the spaces
Betwixt agony and regret
One race many colors
Wonder of the ages
Stellar faces of hope

My Country

My soul is implanted
Yokes upon my back
Connected to this land
Of my birth; America
United to its causes
Never denying its faults
Trust in its greatness
Rising once again to
Yield a peaceful sword

New Dawn
Posted by Amias | 4 Comments
New era of insight
Eyes with clear vision
Wisdom of the ages
Debuts within the mind
Accepted by the masses
Wielding words of love
Nails extracted from hearts

Phoenix

Purpose of my existence
Hieroglyphic of my fate
Old as the pyramids
Eternity in fiery vortex
Nubian queen lives again
Instincts of goddess within
Xanadu returns to life

Comets
Posted by Amias | 6 Comments
Cobra with nebulous tail
Often feared and respected
Miles away from observers
Emigrates across the universe
Troubling many bothers few
Spirits ride like stallions

Divided We Fall
Posted by Amias | 3 Comments
Detached from life’s realities
Individuals lost their way
Vying for material goods
Indoctrinated by others lies
Death becomes a joke
Executed by street hoodlums
Disguised as police officers
We the people join
Enact laws for protection
Failing to speak unitedly
Against the law breakers
Leaves our back expose
Lives enshrouded in pain

United Nations
Posted by Amias | 4 Comments
United they stand alone
Nations divided by greed
Innocent lives are wasted
Terror holds world hostage
Evilness of war consumes
Death on a chessboard
Nations divided by principalities
Aging men set protocols
Treason rapid in governments
Individual countries pays price
Our fears breathe apathy
Nuclear war threatens all
Souls living in turmoil

Our Land

One land, Mother Earth
Upon whom we depend
Raped of her resources
Lacing soil with waste
Angry she fights back
Nature turns against us
Dying from poison food

Brotherhood
Posted by Amias | 4 Comments
Brothers learning to plow
Rows are often crooked
One evolve many backslide
Tyranny breeds in hearts
Hell’s angels, mothers’ hope
Earth fathers of destruction
Rose against the sisterhood
Held their children hostage
One lies, all support
One blunder, all excuse
Deadly sins, men’s friends

Sisterhood
Posted by Amias | 5 Comments
Sisters fostering one dream
Ignorant lies by wayside
Souls entangled in warfare
Tribulation molds their lives
Earth mothers of procreation
Rising like the phoenix
Holds firm resist tyranny
One stands all unite
One stumbles all support
Death will never divide

My Family
Posted by Amias | 6 Comments
Mirror reproductions of me
Young and old kismet
Frozen by history’s labels
Aligned by hope; possibilities
Mothers guide the children
Independent of the fathers
Love infused within minds
Yahweh missing in action
