  1. Scales and Suits

    The heat brings out the snakes,
    like money draws the rich,
    like war brings out the bombs,
    like feces draws the flies.

    Like power draws the cruel,
    like wounds invite the salt,
    like fear locks up the heart,
    like greed learns how to steal.

    The sun heats up the road,
    the ditch begins to writhe,
    the grass hides what it knows,
    the stones remember blood.

    A shadow slides under the fence,
    a tongue divides the air,
    a sermon without words,
    a warning writ in scales.

    The just open their doors,
    the unjust oil their guns,
    the children learn the rules,
    the dogs refuse the crumbs.

    The heat brings out the snakes,
    and some of them have hands,
    and some of them wear suits,
    and some of them say prayers.

    So I learn to watch the ground,
    I learn to trust the dirt,
    I learn where mercy coils,
    I learn when avarice strikes.

  6. The Democrats’ Disastrous Shutdown Strategy: A Shameful Weaponization of Human Suffering

    The government shutdown of 2025 has been one of the most shameful episodes in modern American politics, not just because of the dysfunction it exposed, but because of how both parties — especially the Democrats — turned human suffering into a political strategy. For over 40 days, the federal government was paralyzed, workers went without pay, vital services were halted, and millions of Americans were left hanging in uncertainty. All for what? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. When the dust […]
