My -ISM

Political and Socially Conscious Free Verse Poetry

Poetry is my

Ism

So I

Don't have time

For Rac-ism

Through my

Pr-ism

I see many

Colors and

Nationalities

As

My only

Abnormality

Besides

Being a Minority

That

You can find

Is that I am

Colorblind

And

Still

I have

No time for

Rac-ism

Sex-ism

As

Social Justice

Is always tugging

At my

Activ-ism

My recidiv-ism

So far

Thus far

Has defied

The odds

Because

My radical-ism

Is dipped

A little in

Juda-ism

Not Catholic-ism

Because my

Poetry is my Pope

As the Real-ism

Is that Terror-ism

Needs

Capital-ism

To change

As Liberal-ism

Mixed with

Social-ism

Could clear

The air

On health care

Making it more

Affordable and

More manageable

Than Obamacare

That's the flaw

In Capital-ism

Yet Individual-ism

Is celebrated

Though many

Are hated

It is still debated

Why

My poetry is

Still my -ISM

I

Don't have time

For Rac-ism

Because

Through my

Pr-ism

I see many

Colors and

Nationalities

As

My only

Abnormality

Besides

Being a Minority

Is

That

You can find

Is that I am

Colorblind

......... I am reminded very much of John Lennon when I read these words of yours .. although often isms tend to have a negative connotation, not all are thus tainted though .. I am a great fan and believer of the great mans Bagism ........... enjoyed by me and a fine introduction to your writing ..
