TOUCH, by Véronique Béquin

You’re not looking at me
your eyes – bright – scan my brow
a miner’s lamp
in my underground
Me, I never look
into anyone’s eyes
your logo-less hoodie your jeans
no scrubs for you today
you’re for blending in
your clothes are clean
Persil fres...

Rise Up Young Mind, by Michael D. Rourke

Verse One
Polluted skies, the future is unclear
Vote for clean air, changing hearts are so near
The planet cries, see and listen for pain
Everyone care, a great change will remain

Chorus
Love human kind, open the door
Let’s come together, Rise Up Young M...

FINDING THE LIGHT by TJ Star

Dimmed
For So long,
No one could see what is so special inside.
With a flick of a switch, the light came through and created a world of colour.
Shining bright and radiating like a rainbow.

Performed by Hannah Ehman

Her voice yells under water
atop a mountain no one can hear
Perpetual restless nights
There was a woman beneath the sphere.

She relies on her black leather boots,
A potted flower, every waking hour,
Stripped of her grounded roots

Black le...

MAD CAT, by D. C. MacLean

After Nemo the psycho cat disappeared
There was no one left to murder the birds
Neither the weeds nor the moss
Sci Fi worlds becoming real in our backyard

Remembering the small monster on the roof of the shed
Her howling angry and sublime, circling the earth
But Nemo d...

Ruins of Memories by Badradeen Mohammed

On a sunny autumn day

I was leaning on a plastic chair in front of my house

With sweat dripping from my body

Caused by the high temperature

And resentment for the intensity of my anger

Suddenly, without realising I found mys...

“America is More Than a Place” — (Original) Poem
By Ben Neuberger
The strength of this country doesn’t just come from the force of our might;
Or the power of our bite
It comes from what we represent
And the horrors we choose to prevent.
Our power isn’t defined by the weapons at our disposal,
Our ...

WE'RE NOT A LOVE SONG

We're not a love song
We're not gonna dance in the rain
When you leave me there will be no stain

We tried our best
We put us to the test
We knew and so did the rest

Our chapters over
But the story’s not done
In fact, I think it’s just begun

We’ll give It another go…in ...

The Master and his Work
by Patricia Poulos
One, was this Master with his work;
his hands, his mind, his eyes in unison
to create each sculptured masterpiece
of white marble which lived
Nicholas,
the greatest scuptor of our time
whose gift of design and craft,
brings a cold white marble slab

It would take special men who could act as a team.

Jefferson picked Lewis, Lewis picked friend Clark

From a camp named Dubois, now to make their mark.

Don’t Listen to Harry, by Wayne E. Johnson

Business was slow,
I had nothing to do.
I sat in my office,
Tying my shoe.

I sat there in silence,
And stared at the clock.
And wished it were Friday,
Or at least 12 o’clock.

Too early for lunch,
Too late for a break.
I tapped on my desk,
No decisions...

Drop Me Off in the Wilderness

1

Drop me off in the wilderness
By the river shore where we were before
By the abandoned shack by the railroad track
Slow down and I’ll jump out the door
And find my own way back, I guess,
From the valley of excess
And the Land of 10,000 Dan...
