Wage theft is one of the most prevalent crimes in the United States, affecting millions of low-wage workers. It can take many forms and yet, it goes largely unreported. Read the full article 

A crash
of water
becomes a spray
of salty liquid.
A light breeze,
is a force
of nature,
as salt spray,
wets my face.
Water drips,
from my chin.
I was dry
now I'm wet,
need a towel
and yet,
I love this
smell of the
ocean sea.

One pane of glass
is all which remain,
inside the pieces
of the window frame.
The house is vacant,
now for many years.
A neighborhood blight,
a story of long lost tears.
Who lived here,
so long ago?
Were they like us?
I wish I knew.

I have searched the World over,
from near, far and wide,
searching for my partner,
who rode by my side.
A companion I loved
and defended at any cost,
until the most saddest of days,
when it was her life I lost.
I searched every cranny and flags unfurled,
in search of my love, a beautiful girl.
Thinking I had found her, a short while.
To me this person; It was there,
an instant awareness; I knew it was her.

The grandest of plan,
at least it was then.
The grandest of plan
ever devised by a man.
It was a great plan
and it would soon be,
one, which changed the Worlds view
of our Nations' history.
What happened on the night,
caused stress in our land
A military, watchful life,
away from here now.
Move quickly or I fear,
you no longer will
be with us the following year.

Tell me a story.
Tell me my friend,
I have an interest
and two ears to lend.
Tell stories of real life.
Let us not do, "Let's Pretend."

A ray of light, slices across the sky,
circling the Earth, as it passes by
where we live. I see and am wondering why
the Blue Ray from space, makes another try.

Drag me down
to the land of Oz,
for my plate is empty
and I need a cause.

My words are rusty,
I cannot lie,
No matter how hard,
I must not try.

What does it mean
when you say, "Born Free?"
Is it free to all,
or just to thee?
An entitlement for some
but not for citizens, all,
removes the neighborly trust,
for one and for all.
Why should we care,
for this, when you are to be
disadvantaged, economically

Fire him now
was said aloud,
without a jury
to prove a guilt.
Why do we rush
towards a judgement day?
There will be more
opportunities to then say,
you have been found guilty
by your select Peers,
based upon facts,
not smoke and mirrors.
