The Adoration of Charity
Angela Costi
She is more than a passing gaze
more than a smile in a room of strangers
more than a substantial donation to a worthy cause
within the folds of her demure gown
she stores her generosity
warm and ripened for various occasions
to champagne toast those zillion zeros.
At night is when she really swells
in pillows flooded with tears
a gush of love to hug and cuddle all sleep.

She
bleeds from her past
bleeds for her future
trying to ease the agony
her veins let her life spill forth
into the soil for her unborn seeds
already feeding them her spirit
hoping they will understand |

So what if you're Fly
Wear a suit and Tie
Tilt your head and Sigh
Fake tears and Cry
Say you just might Die
Give it another Try
Use your Hands and Pry |

I'm grabbing my Bags
Walking out the Door
You think this is All I'm good for
You've seen the Last of my body
You hardly know the Rest of me
You fail to see the Best in me
Give me a Year...
You won't even recognize me
I'm spreading my Unclipped wings
This is not the nest for me

It lays in the quest taking
It laid in the venture within
It rains on great investments
Reigning with honor and integrity
Yet it only comes once

Flowers are those places
That butterflies and hummingbirds
Can go
That one true oasis
Where sugar sweet comes
In the form of
Morning dew

I descend while blue sky darken
As you ascend from dirt brown
Taking with you on this upward climb
The very essence of our existence
.......................................I Struggle

A young heart filled with a million woes,
Sorrow, depression, regret..
All things hard to forget.
Naive mind, pure soul,
Open to all of the unknown and unexplained..
Pushing to the edge of what is sane.
Lost dreams, broken hopes, lows then highs, |

Vegans, you are a powerful voice
Defending animals is your righteous choice
I urge you to go into law
Look your opponents in the face
Say 'I'm a lawyer, but I'm also a vegan
This is my animal rights case'
Sue make-up industries
For torturing innocent creatures
In the name of beauty
But do not exalt animal rights so high
That human being will have to die
Do not impede the way to a cure
For H.I.V. and so many more
Diseases, diseases, diseases
If a scientist's cause is not
Less important than yours
Do not block the laboratory doors
If you so much as attempt
To sue one laboratory
My ink will be turned on you |
