The Mission

From my own experience, writing poetry has helped me to overcome and understand many things about life and myself. This blog will be an open journal for all who care to read it. You are also welcome to participate in any free writing activities as well as post your poems for review or just to share.

Playground

Africans, Spaniards, Europeans
descendants of warring countries
Religious or otherwise
Come together in innocence
Unaware of history's precedence
and instead of bullets and hate
they throw sand
and laugh in the sun
undaunted by mosquito bites
and their imminent futures
because we know such things
as playgrounds and innocence and inclusion
don't last forever.
