Difference Maker
By
Curtiss L. Hayes, Jr.
G oing forward we all must be vigilant
E very one take a stand to be diligent
O thers see this as being a militant
R ather I would suggest it’s intelligent
G ear up to move on and be confident
E xceed expectations and become prominent
F or some with prominence use their power like claws
L everaging and tearing down justice with laws
O ff of your backside and get up off your paws
Y our time has come to cut the crap with your saws
D ecide to make a difference in spite of your flaws

Rage
Content Warning: Domestic Violence, Assault Rage D. A. Ratliff “Who did this?” My voice echoed through the house. All I wanted was a cup of tea, but one of the twins, running through the house like maniacs, knocked it over. My nerves tingled, and every muscle in my body felt coiled like a spring. Survival seemed out of reach.
