A Street Corner in Brooklyn

Bruised cigarette butts adorn the ground,

just outside of the corner store.

Newport makes room for Marlboro.   

A carnival of cancer sticks galore.

Corona cerveza bottles lined up like domino’s,

waiting to be tipped.

Young unkempt dudes and old flashy broads posted like walls along a tiny strip.

Broken payphones eating quarters.

Weed bags covered in smiles.

Scratched, scraped and ravaged until empty, crack vials.

Dirty needles nestled in crevices where plants 

used to grow.

Feral cats running from putrid pregnant rats, with nowhere to go.

Lena Land Books to Release a Domestic Violence Anthology “When Angels Bleed”

Author L.S. Williamson exemplifies the motto, “No rest for the weary” as she barrels ahead with her next book When Angels Bleed.  The next title to be released will be a compilation of true stories of the battles in the fight against Domestic Violence from the male and female perspective.  The victims will be both familiar and indiscriminate as are the affects of abuse.  There are male and females being verbally, physically, psychologically, financially, sexually and emotionally abused.  

When Angels Bleed

When Angels bleed God sheds a tear.

As the blood flows like a river, far and near.

The Heavens quiver and the fires in Hell rise higher,

Blaze brighter as pure evil snuffs out the Angel’s light.

Where goodness once shined brighter than a July sun,

Now lives fear and despair, the darkness has come.

Battle scars are beauty marks on the soldiers of God.
