What am I reminded today? I think of three
Of two braved men have died in civil pursuits
All wearing perfect tailored suits,
As one woman …
Championed the bravest
… of the Big Apple
… as she takes a bite of it
… I have to pause
MLK, Jr represented change, fight for equality,
Social justice, end of multi-racial discrimi-
nation, an awakening to end desegregation
His blood whiter and purer than any white man
He died to bring men unity
He sacrificed his life …
Did he died sacrificed, as Jesus did?
Today and throughout history …
… Perhaps so, because in the white house
… He belonged the greatest of men
MLK, Jr will always stand out!
There lived a man
… hated and marveled
Was society ready for such a man?
You be the judge, as I will not debate politico
I will never win but, it’s with God
That l stand …
That I will state microscopic debate
He never teased men, as men would
As we, both smile … Oh, so pleasantly
That because, is nice to know
Am His disciple and always will
Let’s further acknowledged … Jessie Jackson
Followed his pride and fight
Was he rebirth of MLK, Jr?
Was he a match for MLK, Jr?
… He pushed alright, Operation Push
What is Push?
People United to Save Humanity
He pushed for social justice …
However, some pushed him to insanity
… He ran for president
… That’s how unique he was
… He ran, twice
How about AOC, from the Bronx
Did she pushed for what?
Is she’s still pushing?
Let’s judge her not!
AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez …
Rep of the Bronx and 2028 President?
Who said that … would you vote for her?
Or, would you claim like Zohran Mamdani?
You do the thinking! …
I done enough, am going to rest
Am asleep, til He wakes me up
As he awoke, I questioned …
Are we ready to accept
Social change?
To what extent? Whether we want or not,
or whether we wait or not, it will not mattered
We know, what we know
That AOC from the Bronx
Is tough … did she joined a gang?
To be like this or did she rang and
ran with a biker door?
Don’t question me, question her
You tell me … she the majority
… and/or the minority?
Will we ever know?
I know that our thoughts of MLK, Jr.
For sure, awoke man’s conscience
… with science questioning …
A man with an incredible mind and fearless!
… Was he like an eagle flying high like a kite?
… free and untouched in a league all his own
… I think, soooo!
Now, in demand entered a new comer with charm of basketball, his forte or politics?
Should we ought to question him?
With two presidential terms …
… Will the next Barack Obama arise, in 2028?
Could it be Mr. Mamdani?
Do called, a man with a vision
However, he not born USA? No!
A prerequisite for the presidency
His a ticket to be a mayor …
He the new comer awaking of the socialist
He, in control of world’s greatest city
Don’t question me! Question him
Is it a yes or no? Let the first man stand & claim “Name that next of man as people’s pride arises
To never accept peace, place hate onto a plate
To be feed well, is what, I say!”
… What do we think, what do we know?
They seek war, instead as we are torn …
Why man cannot find a common ground?
What is the common denominator?
Are you in the elevator with your cell phone
… too busy to look because, you prefer your Cell phone… before you cross the street look
Can anyone hear …
As none’s can hear?
What you seeing in the rare mirror of the car?
What images you see?
Is it the next Barack Obama?
Who has sealed and made a deal
Is it real or not?
“I think, every man are for themselves!”
No matter what they say
Why fight, until we die?
Is hate in the grave or with the brave?
“It takes a good man to bury hate …
Is clear, is better the underground with heat
To put hate next to an iceberg to melt
As it cools …
Yea, next you witness an unfriend that is not
Nice but, too hot … looking like a worm
… as it crawls on its belly born and bored
As their heart are torn with wrong
I say on their belly
They roar and crawl
Paused …
As they turn …
Yea, as they turned try to turn
No where to go!
They find untoned notes
All broken to pieces
What’s the difference?
What’s the reasons that make and
… can’t like MLK, Jr?
Evermore, like Jessie Jackson?
A man of great honor …
He fought hard …
He was tired not to get as far as wanted
There’s always limitations
Twice, ran for President
Was American ready? I say, I was
With his voice or not!
If you’ve no voice? Like Dogs, cats
have none, Why?
Were they curse or they blessed?
It’s just an opinion or not?
Why they don’t speak but, we?
Because, we that special we are likeness of God
They depend on us for … they are feed by us
Are they vertebrates or invertebrates?
Us, Homo sapiens are vertebrates …
and animals with possessing a backbone
and/or spine … The worms has a start of
of a spine … how you may say?
If you touch them, it’s a wiggling
Is the behind of motor system
As it move, you witness pain
If you stab or hurt them … don’t hurt a living
… creature, it has a soul like you and I
Let’s go back … What is the phylum of man?
Man belong to the phylum, subphylum Vertebrata… We humans are vertebrates
… fish are
Invertebrate possesses a backbone
Called vertebrate column …
With an internal skeletal
… of bone & cartilages
Jellyfish are invertebrates, Why?
They flow without a backbone
Belonging to the phylum Cnit…ia, yea Cnidaria
It’s its tentacles that poisonous
… To hunt its victims
There’s not debate! With regards to fate
We are to remove hate but, only MLK, Jr
A Baptist Minister, seals his deal with God
… without it! So, did Mr. Jackson
… He 5 had children then 1 more, total 6
… He left his marks
He had peace in his heart never hate …
He fought super hard in the 20th century
Than any man, for civil rights in his pursuits
Today, fighting in the grave with his black suit
He is alive today more than that of yesterday’s
Why is it, when you died you become alive?
Why writers are immortals?
That’s because …
They leave their prints as their did the writings
They never die fully are alive …
Regardless, bury 50 ft
It’s full life great to live
Yea, is full life great to live?
… I had to Pause!
Today, because our lack of faith …
The continuation to fight for peace we must
Question: “Are we really winning wars or being torn and/or wrong?” We being torn!
We losing because, we like a dry corn …
in the field …. What is hate? If not a debate
I say, is a seed of not love
That’s won’t produce any fruits
Whether in our youth or not …
Hate is never peace …
With hate is like a black whole
You can’t escape …
I had to pause
It is a whirl pool pulling …
Is a pulling of your skin as it rip
Is not a trip of love nor peace …
Is a best dress like Halloween on its own
We not born but, torn apart
You can’t be born …
Why not? Because, you wronged
Where are all arts are creative minds
Let’s declare peace not war
Aim for love never hate … nor war
I dare any man to voice their opinion or reverse
They will never bury hate … it’s their norm
… to be torn as their preference-reference
Instead, they dig holes in the ground
Thinking they can’t unbury hate
They take to their graves hate …
They think, they brave having hate
They forgot, love is free that never for sell
Love the strongest of all emotions …
Love never dies because, is born everyday
Whenever, a newborn is born
It starts with love into the world
It’s an introduction of love …
Depending on us, just like animal does
Now, am leaving you, with love to no end
… this I can tell you, my friends!
I dare any man to claim in the battle of wars
… they bury not hate but, pour out love!
“What have we learned from history?”
Is it peace we seek? Is war better than peace?
War’s expensive …. War is expensive!
Is never love but, hate! Where you can find it
Everywhere, everywhere but, not in the Bronx
Why I say that? It was feed bad food & fruits
The stock market the preference, richness The new essence?
Can a rich man become poor
As is giving all to erase the underdogs?
As the rain poured on the cloths …
Yea, on their Cloths the rain falls on their brains
They step out of the train and with a cane
With sugar cane to make them sweet in vain
No matter which, ophthalmologist they seek
They still weak and blind …
Who can correct their vision, if is not God?
Will MLK, Jr awake one day or today?
If he would be alive
Can he bring peace
Reach man’s hearts, one more time?
From his grave, he feels numb from all the
… bombs and street bums!
What have we done for them to move on? But,
Jessie Jackson who has died … not once
But, twice! Why, I state? That’s because,
When MLK, Jr die, all of us, died too!
He fought hard, for freedom
Mr. Jackson, tried to awake
Those dead … from this earth
He couldn’t succeed …
… because we couldn’t believe in his peace
There’s more, he had more love than anyone
Something, the very few of man has, why?
Because, instead of love
…. they gave him hate!
It was revealed in the NY Times … when he died
His heart parsed … yea, his heart pierced
with love with no purse. He had a wallet
Full of love, never hate …
Tuesday February 17, 2026 he died!
I will protect his HIPAA
Regardless of spread in black ink
In the NY Times …
He, an angel of God
He earned his wings
Why, I say so?
Because, its beliefs that tells me …so!
He walked into the gates of heaven
As God waited with pride …
With all done with social justice in his brain
He opened His art yea, He opened his art and heart, He open His arm to Mr. Jackson
Stated: “We been waiting for such great man!
Thus is you, Jessie Jackson …
It has rained in heaven just for you …
Super hard … all the angels came rushing in!”
Where were they both, dear friends!
… and/or an incarnation of each other?
Meaning MLK, Jr and Mr. Jackson …
Are they getting reacquainted in the grave’s?
Or, today they stay dancing … in the rain?
Because, they had no time for that in Earth
Too busy! Let’s ask wholeheartedly …
Is AOC, praying for them today or everyday?
She’s too busy traveling Germany championing
For social justice, 2028 Presidential ticket, truly Is she denying fame? She riding high in the skies, I judge not, you judge as she goes …
Who can bring her down?
As she has no limit, how far she can fly
Yea, she has no limit how far she can go & fly!
With power comes responsibilities
As Superman would say and state …
It is not easy to give up powers
To gain it and maintain it …
Is even harder … at times to sell your soul
Should we prefer to be poor and without fame
And/or be pure and never vain and in pain?
You choose, while you still can!
You decide what you want heaven or hell
I say heaven, start today and be extra nice
Everyday …
Know, is with God you can love …
In the mind, soul and heart by keeping it nicely
Pure and throwing away hate …
Maybe is a way out haters goes insane!
… while good turns into love
… Choose love never hate, is what I say!
Is best to keep away from fame and
Also, hate! Chose not fame …
But, frame love instead with a gold frame
It’ll shine like a star …
Chose your name anew
With love, you instead
The old you had, didn’t work
Start fresh this way your insanity will gone away
… and melt
Shall I start to end, I saw a flag
I saw its colors …
I saw Jessie Jackson
In my dreams and prints
Then, came MLK, Jr as a saint …
It was followed by the flag of rainbows.
A flag with pride if the nicest of colors
All with endless of love …
Stonewall National Monument …
Yea, Stonewall National Monument
In prints and in my dreams …Let’s get along
Let’s stand tall and strong! Get out of the bus …
Let the blacks get a sit, repeat the scenes of love never to get rid of hate yea, you get rid of hate always set a date with God …Never with Satan, angel disoriented and not obedient
Do not spit, never hit, nor discriminate
A black man or woman, instead respect them
They blessed like everyone else! Their love
Is of the greatest, greater than any white man
Do not leave a mark of hate
When you leave the bus …
Stand up … instead clap your hands
Every time you see a black man!
Why I say this?
Take away this! They were once’s slaves
With hate on their back not in their front
Never to see it! They fought hard to get free
I can bleed, everyone as I hear this!
They lost their hands …
While knocking for love …
Their sacrifice was that of the greatest
They died looking for love and peace
Instead, they took with them picture
Of love and peace …
Of what love suppose to be!
It is why, today MLK, Jr we celebrate …
Is so big, yea, it is so big. He so big and tall
taller than any building! His name is Martin …
An almighty and martyr …
Know your hate burned skin …
Yea, your hate burned some skin
Skin the largest organ! Tell me, if is not!
As covers 22 square feet of water …
It is neat to say! We mostly skin and water
Water is beneficial … Bien, decir agua in Spanish
60-70 % water is our bodies! Meaning H2O …
We made of hydrogen and oxygen, God
… As the two chemical components as humans
… Is pure science
It’s neat to say we, mostly skin …
Are we the twin of oceans? Ocean, 96.5 close to 97% of Earth’s water! Yea, of Earth’s water
We know, Where there’s water, there’s life
It is known as God … We know that about 3% fresh water existing today!
Soon, next time you drink cool water …
Know … There’s 8 billion of humans
in this Earth! Know, it’s God in it …
Pray and be blessed bend, your knees to God
Look up to God … You may not see Him
He is there, invisible …
You can see Him, when your heart is clean
… and clear, when you stop smacking Him
… you could be reborn, take this as a gift
Know, God creatures are underneath …
Respect the oceans! As He is in abundance
I had to pause …
Is a natural gift from Him
He the greatest …
Are feeds from you to eat!
Be careful of what you say!
Here underneath …
They breath …
They multiply in the masses …
That’s why, you can look
At God’s splendors
Yea! This is why
You can look at God’s splendors
Yea, of God’s splendors …
Creatures of the sea seeks … to live harmoniously … to live and bathe in the sea
As they take breaths of fresh air! They often reach out … To let you know God’s there
Are you scared?
Next time leave … leave a trash to God
Pick it up! Do not not confuse Him with us
Ir could an enormous oil spill or microscopic one
Think of love, instead of hate!
… is God, that lives there …
Love, love, love and endless of it
Catch it, before it goes …
Give hate away to a cemetery
You should have no debate …
Bury it, now take cement place it on top
Just …Take love and never-ever bury it
Bury hate not love! Instead bury hate again
Never-ever love, sounds better and stylist
Is a nice list love-peace
Hate! Is a beast! It is not never love
It is a rotten tongue you can’t speak
Is life when gone to fast …
It’s life that enters in God …
I leave you with this message …
I leave you to think a microscopic of bits
I leave you with God the seed of life …
He is love, the only master of the skies
He is free …
Me too!
Am a bird
Am a flower
Which one!
Am an orchid …
Am a flower of lilies
Am rose of unknown colors
Am an eagle once couldn’t fly
It’s wings was gone
From all of the hurts
He sought and pray
He learned to speak by praying
God saw her unique
He grab his will …
He sat gently onto His lap
Gods than set him free to go and fly
As high as he did …
As high as he can!
Yes, he is full of love
… and, so is me
Minerva A. Garcia, your Poet
