The true identity of Ludwig van Beethoven, long considered Europe’s greatest classical music composer. Said directly, Beethoven was a black man. Specifically, his mother was a Moor, that group of Muslim Northern Africans who conquered parts of Europe—making Spain their capital—for some 800 years.
In order to make such a substantial statement, presentation of verifiable...

My dad was taken by Immigration and they could sent him back any day now! He won’t be able to come back for 10 years and he hasn’t done anything wrong. He’s been living here for 20 years, always paying taxes, and helped many families start lives in America. We need your help.

The Fallen Faerie's Song - A New Poem
The wishful stand watching
With bated breaths drawn,
All lost to the reasons
As death takes the dawn.
Tomorrow’s children see
The ruins we’ve left,
Their future forsaken
Victims of our theft.
We stole their tomorrow,
Left nothing behind
Except for this dream
In rapid decline!
The fallen faerie sings
An anthem so pure,
That hope finds a way
To truly endure…
The...

In the end... - A New Poem
In the end, we all run,
Though it does us no good,
The executioner waits
Peering out from his hood.
His cold gaze locks upon us
Stealing our breath…
In the end, we all run,
But you can’t escape death!
The clock’s hands only turn
A finite number of times
Before the gears run down
And that final bell chimes.
When the cold settles in
With its barbaric grasp,
Do you know where...

WWJD II : When Atheists Attack! - A New Poem
What would Jesus do,
With this atheist crew?
Demand they be slain,
For not praising his name?
Call upon his flock,
Asking that they be shot?
Could it be true…
Is that what he’d do?
Hear the screams and the wails
As your dogmas collapse!
Desperate rage rolling out
When atheists attack!
Where to turn, who to call,
For a way to refute
All the biblical truths
That these haters...

Not long ago, I submitted a follow up piece of micro-fiction to the always awesome lit comp zine Gag Me With A…, that not only complimented my entry for issue #3, but it continued it. So here it is for anyone interested.
The wind blew so subtly that the trees gave nearly no indication that it wasn’t as still and quiet as the night settling in around the small cabin. So isolated and haunting...

Life Lessons (Inspired by the Sunscreen Song & Not...
Recently I listened to the Sunscreen Song again released under Baz Lurhman, which was based on a graduation speech that had been around the internet for a while in the 90’s. It got me thinking, and then well, writing my own bit of advice to the public. And while I always liked the song before, now upon rehearing it, I recognize some problematic and privileged statements being made.
So I put...

Cynic's Eyes - A New Poem
The child awoke seeing the world Through the weathered cynic’s eyes. Found the sunset’s just a backdrop, And his heroes peddling lies. He found the villains wearing white; All of the scales unfairly tipped; Where the silver lining’s plug in, And all the tabled truths are flipped. Found the systems were constructed With cold, cruel oppressive themes. He found hope to be a concept That...
