Who needs all this glitter when children go hungry and the sparkle in their eyes is long gone.

traffic jam

I kept telling myself

you must have been

stuck in traffic–

but I got tired of waiting

for you to find

your way back to me

transience

summers come and go–

love fades

in between daydreams

of forevermores

Living With Uncertainty

the sun will rise again

in the morning

regardless of worries–

it will set upon us

as it always does

in shades of violet–

but what transpires

in between is

often a mystery–

a question

begging an answer

a story, unfinished

ask yourself

what will it take

for love to prevail

over hate

for unity

over division

for tolerance

over indifference

for understanding

over conflict–

what will it take?

within 24 hours

the world changed

as the fabric of society

disintegrated

before my very eyes–

I searched for

a glimmer of

hope against hope

here I am

where I come from

and where I’m headed

it’s not a matter of

love it or leave it

because you simply

can’t eradicate

the American dream
