every light restored
every line repaired
the names are piling up
none will be forgotten
from ukraine to minnesota
we the people rising up
be the leftover puzzle piece
fascists don’t know what to do with
i guarantee your safety
said the spider to the fly
but as more rockets fill the sky
the more each bullet tells the lie
no one has ever owed us heaven
but we’ve the right to take home back
be the leftover puzzle piece
fascists don’t know what to do with
voters dying in minnesota
another grim winter in ukraine
more genocide for real estate
to sate the bloodlust of billionaires
but every light will be restored
& every home will be defended
be the leftover puzzle piece
fascists don’t know what to do with

unbolt me 
Be the puzzle piece… I like that! I often feel like I don’t fit in, maybe I am that extra piece no one knows what to do with. You can do some wonderful things with extra pieces. You don’t have to fit in to have power. Another great poem Tony!

THE DEVIL WEARS A RED TIE
O, the devil has a red tail
it is long and trim he used to live in hell
now he lives quite nigh
he hides his tail behind him
and wears a long red tie.
O, the devil doesn’t hide
the devil smiles a lot
lives in a White House
shits in an orange pot
and wears it like a crown
to hide his devil horns.
O, the devil wears a red tie
Now and then he speaks
but all he does is lie
every single day
he tells us who to hate
he fills us all with fear.
O, the devil has an army
lost souls behind their masks
they do what they may
which is just what he asks
stop the working immigrants
shove them to the ground
and send them far away.
O, the devil has an army
their veins are full of ICE
wearing masks, hate and bigotry
they aren’t exactly nice
they are the devil’s army
with pepper spray & gas
they carry their mighty guns
to surely shoot you dead
even if you only ask why
they’ll kick you in the head.
But
We are not afraid.

no matter how bad it is, there’s still, that hope, no matter how small, that we need to, hold on tightly, to.
