VIOLENCE
Violence
& Hate
Are your
True enemies
And
They have no color
No race
Not imaginary
Lines which we
Draw in the sand
Or the walls we
Build
Fear
Works
Hand in hand
With both
Of them
Causing
Chaos
Death
Destruction
The cycle
Neverending
Stopping
Them
Impossible
Hope &
Love
Must be
Injected
Into our
Veins
Like
A drug

I’M JUST A WRITER
One-day.
When all this horror ends. Death ends from this virus. When we have thrown all the walking talking garbage, excrement out of our Whitehouse, the lunatic sociopath and all his corporate friends and buddies. When we as the people who have the true power learn that we cannot trust let alone ever again follow both monied Republicans nor Democrats because of their complete incompetency during this time of mass desolation and we have finally renewed our freedom, re-established our Constitution and our liberty and have put in change/elected intelligent, experienced & actually educated and smart people whose job it will be to repair and heal all of the monsterous actions that Trump and his cabinet have done to our country, world and environment … our people and our nation then maybe one-day when I am very old I will start writing poems about beauty, love, nature and maybe even flowers. But until that day comes I will with all my heart and all my soul write poems that are true and I will fight the powers that be until this vision this hope finally comes true and becomes a reality. So until that day I will not change nor accept the condition of this country or world and neither should you.
Because America my friends is in ruins due to the fault of one single insane individual and we know what must be done whether your conscience chooses to accept it or not. For we have been used, lied to and betrayed. Thousands are now either unemployed or dead. And this is unforgivable.
So will you just watch all this happening from the comfort of your living room? Or are you a real human being who believes that this world should be safe and free for your children and many generations to come?
Me?
I’m just a writer.
But what are you?
~ R.M. Engelhardt
Hey,
I hope that all of you are staying safe right now in this time of Quarantine. In the midst of all this I have been contributing new poems as well as some older ones to the cause. Many of which are not so polite to politicians and Trump Supporters.
Follow the Words here:
And as always, thank you.

TEMPUS EDAX RERUM
What was once in this world just considered impossible or even science fiction has now become a reality. We have lost so many human lives in such a short amount of time and we have seen our leader’s insincere, disturbed & selfish reactions to it. We have all watched the news and are all now quarantined/forced, let alone reminded every single day of fear, disease and death. Needless to say I’m angry and I will now and until the end of my own days (no matter how long those days may be) will continue to write and as witness create the words that must be said and say what should be said in these times and I encourage all my friends & fellow writers to do the same.
Because if we’re all going to go down?
Then go down swinging.
Stay Safe.

AND YOU WILL
REMEMBER
Once.
There is, was
Nothing
Is, was
Nothing
At all
But the
Dead
Who
In their
Final moments
Their last
Breath were
Surrounded
By panic
And fear
Politics
And despair
Struggling
To live
To survive
Unable
To scream
Where black
Orange &
Yellow
Bodybags
Lined the
Hospital
Hallways
Across nations
Across the world
Where
Photos, media
Flashed
Across giant
Internet screens
Confirming
Loss
And the
Doctors &
Nurses
Essential
Workers
Fought on
Some died
But there
Is, was no
Prayer
No anger
To a missing
God or a
Tyrant, the
Monster of all
Hate, lust & greed
Envy
And sloth
Who ?
With a
Casual smile upon
His face
Lived on
And we ?
The survivors
The angry
The broken
The hopeless
& the poor,
The weak
The powerless
The middle-class
And all the old
And all the young
Of the world
Did nothing.
We
Did nothing
We
Did nothing
We
Did nothing
“At All”

IMBOLC
Ashes from the fire
She rests for awhile
To change the seasons
From winter to light
~ R.M. Engelhardt
IN THE BURNING LIGHT
All animals
All creatures
All beauty
Dead.
How could
God let
This happen?
People asked
And then
God replied
“Men did”
And put
Out the
Fire with
Rain
As he
Opened
A door between
The clouds
Of smoke
Where the
Souls of all the
Creatures
Went
~ R.M. Engelhardt ©
They used to say this place is called the “End of the World“
And it has gone by many other names
Like Apocalypse
Rapture
End Days
And people have been talking
About it forever, for centuries
Putting it in books
But if you choose
To believe in all of this,
Do nothing. Don’t stand. Don’t change.
Don’t resist with a true belief in the
Human spirit, a greater love or faith
Then the End of The World
Becomes a simple truth
