Power Politics

written by: Jose A. Tovar

Unsatisfying political greed,
hunger that grows
like a spreading fungus
underneath the soil,
a cancer that replicates
within the subculture of society—
all of it unnoticed
but dangerously real
in the fabric
of our mechanical routine.
The gears of power
keep on turning,
turning to plunder us
into submission.

Shadows of New York by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

One day I sat and listened to the choirs of Babel.
It took me back to when I painted shadows in New York
which cast skyscrapers high above your garden.
And I wondered if an island, in the seas of nowhere,
would have served as shelter if our ship should sink.

Did a siren with her song lead you so far away from home,
and has that made you forget me?
Have you removed the old tattoos?
Did you forget the sailing trips?
Was it because Manhattan’s winds destroyed your jib?...
