Haiku

December 3, 2019 by The Village

By Needa Bee

“Victory”

The devil is mad.

everyday i rise bright, strong,

Solid. Feelin’ myself.

“Homefull”

Houseless on the streets.

But with love and unity

We fam. We are Home.

“Politricksters”

Babylon leaders

Rule with lies, harm those with less

Get paid for their crimes
