“Raghead (The Sonnet)
Some call me raghead,
Some call me desert dweller.
Some call me curry-breath,
Some call me f-ing nigger.
This is not just my story,
But of every person of color.
In a world stolen by whites,
Anything non-white is inferior.
Upon receiving so much hate,
I admit, sometimes I do feel gloomy.
I know how it is to be cussed everyday,
So I choose love no matter the agony.
The tradition of hate has gone on long enough.
I choose to be the break in habit on the world's behalf.”

“You don't need to deny the self for inclusion, or to forget your roots for integration. All you gotta do, if you want collectivity, is, expand your roots and branches in cohesion.”

“If you truly want people like me- LGBTQ+ people- to talk about our sexuality and gender less, you can help by making it unnecessary- by dismantling the ignorance and fear in your own hearts and minds, and by learning to embrace and celebrate the beautifully diverse expression of humanity for what it is. And it is good.”
“Nutty Community (The Sonnet)
Crazy am I, crazy are you,
When crazy together, we live anew.
Miserable am I, miserable are you,
When miserable together, I find joy in you.
Broken am I, broken are you,
When broken together, we are each other's glue.
Insecure am I, insecure are you,
When insecure together, we find it all untrue.
Disfunctional am I, disfunctional are you,
When disfunctional together, we function well.
Fallen am I, fallen are you,
When we fall together, we'll rise sure as hell.
Let us go against ourselves in defying self-centricity.
You be a nut, I'll be a nut, let's build a nutty community.”
