I Too Sing America by Langston Hughes


“Men weren’t the only heroes of the Vietnam War”

Even though we served our country People of color still don’t have the same rights nor are we treated as Human beings.


Whose Flag?



As a US ARMY VETERAN nearly every Black, Hispanic, Muslim, Asian I’ve known has gone through racism, bigotry, discrimination and hatred during and after their term of service.

Veterans of Color are not trtreated as Human beings.


Whose Flag?

As a US Army Veteran I Love America and I honor the flag but Human rights iin the United states are secondary to meaningless rhetoric. Every Black, Hispanic, Muslim and Asian Veteran has a story of discrimination, bigotry, racism and hatred.

House as Memory Palace


Swallowed up by a Forest of Memories

Organic acrylic painting Collage


Castles become ashes burnt in the sand. Speaking in Tongues didn’t raise Her up. For She was sold for thirty pieces of tarnished silver yet Her skin remained Burnished Bronze.

Desperate for escape She slashed Her Limbs on the Spider’s Web.

Then She became a Tree, then a Universe for it mattered not what others thought.

She did up Her Bloody bandages continuing her Voyage Guided by Arboreal Voices. Limbs and Leaves gave succour binding together jagged sounding wounds.

Remember that the Rivers are filled with Souls awaiting Ascension
