Accept rejection. Don't beg. Never chase.
Know your worth.

Choose yourself.

For Alex Jeffrey Pretti Murdered by I.C.E January 24, 2026 by Amanda Gorman We wake with no words, just woe & wound. Our own country shoot ing us in the back is not just brutal ity; it's jarring betrayal; not enforcement, but execution. A message: Love your people & you will die. Yet our greatest threat isn't the outsiders among us, but those among us who never look within. Fear not the those without papers, but those without conscience. Know that to care intensively, united, is to carry both pain-dark horror for today & a profound, daring hope for tomorrow. We can feel we have nothing to give, & still belove this world wait ing, trembling to change. If we cannot find words, may we find the will; if we ever lose hope, may we never lose our humanity. The only undying thing is mercy, the courage to open ourselves like doors, hug our neighbor, & save one more bright, impossible life.

Honored to have my poem “Here We Will Stay” published in @CataloguingMag 🖤🏳️‍🌈

A piece about queer resilience—about choosing to exist loudly in a world that tries to erase us. We’re still here. We’re not going anywhere.

#poetry #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #PoetryIsResistance #PowerToThePeople
A digital image of a poem titled "Rising Tides of an Awakening" displayed in elegant, bold text. The poem speaks of history repeating itself, drawing parallels between past revolutions and modern struggles against tyranny. It references Paul Revere’s midnight ride, shifting symbols of oppression from redcoats to red ICE hats, and the echoes of the Boston Tea Party. The verses describe a fabricated crisis crumbling, inflated egos clinging to power, and the inevitable rising tide of change. The poem ends with a declaration: tyranny is surging, but the winds of change still blow, and the people will not kneel.

IT'S SPRINGTIME FOR DONALD
#poetrycommunity #rmengelhardt
#poetryisresistance
IT'S SPRINGTIME FOR DONALD How sad Truly sad Your life must be To play the villain The monster on Reality TV While children are being Born, and the elderly are dying and Another mother can't afford the rent And a family who Just lost their home But what do you care? As all the flowers bloom And all the billionaires fly off To Mar-A Lago to worship Your sorry Russian bought fat Lap dog Ass Playing golf On the American dollar As the people you just fired Stand in the unemployment lines With no future As you stare at the camera Like a psychopath With a disturbed smile Happy & content As a pigeon who Just shit on a Brand new car Because it's Springtime For Donald As all the flowers die As all your believers wretch Realizing that you are Far less than a real human being Or even a leper messiah Because it's Springtime for Donald As the warm April wind Smells like putrid dogshit Wherever You suddenly Appear ~ R.M.
