A glove passed from hand to hand - from one protest to the next, one generation to another.
Margaret Randall’s “The Gloves” holds the warmth of resistance and the quiet endurance of love.

I am not especially happy about writing so many political poems lately - but since it is what is on my mind, it's what I write about.

The cover art for my new ebook collection of poetry, “Deep Diving,” was made from my art piece, acrylics on a round canvas, and is hung by my sink for me to remember to be brave!

"Let them not say: they did nothing."

In an age of silence, resistance is witness. No Kings. No idols. No submission — only the courage to speak, to act, to remember.

We need good troublemakers,
Truth whisperers,
Floor-holders,
Dreamers who don’t blink
When power glares back.

Equality’s Song
The world is a choir, but too long have we sung,
Only for the rich to keep pulling the strings. 🎶💡

In a world of hammers, you see nails.
In a world of Glory, you see fails.

A new poem for the gloriously unbothered, the ones who won’t shrink to fit 💙📚

King Covfefe - Earl David Freeland He says he couldn’t care less if the prices rise— foreign cars, domestic wages, eggs, insulin, rent, he couldn’t care less. He means it. He says it between swings. While the Dow freefalls he adjusts his grip. Asks if the cameras are catching the swing. This is how a king behaves when the peasants burn. Not with fire but overdraft notices, mothers counting pills at the sink, mildew blooming where the crib used to be. Marie said cake. Nero played while Rome burned. This one posts, then tees off. Covfefe. Let them eat Red Hats and stock tips, let them eat lead pipes and broadband outages. We funded the cart. We painted the staircase. We watched the match get lit. He couldn’t care less. He says it out loud. We laugh or we don’t. He’s not listening. He’s halfway to the green.

My first poem is live.
A mother’s memory.
Before control, there was care.
Before walls, there were paths.
We called it dharma.
You forgot me. I still love you.
