We shan’t be cruel

Jewish faith is strong

Other religions too

Minorities growing

Bringing warmth

And friendship

LGBTQ are just

Like you and me

Ethnic or trans

You belong

For this is your home

America the free

-Jennie Nawrocki

Walking here

Nobody in front

Nobody behind

Alone on my journey

Wanting or wandering

Towards home

Bouncing ideas

Isn’t an option

For the feedback

Just assumes

I got it right

But a second opinion

Would be second or third

If you are

Walking alone

-Jennie Nawrocki

Bang, bash, boom

Sshssh, whistle, splat

Slammed doors

Windows crashed

Buildings collapsed

Friends missing

Hurt or

Worst of all

Dead

Sleepless nights

Sporadic meals

Clothes nasty

Body smelling skanky

From days of

Lots of running

And more walking

Corners suspicious

Bombardments needed

When does it end

When can I go home

Some stuff you just

Don’t want to remember

In the hell of war

-Jennie Nawrocki

I can’t see

Someone is blocking

Goodness sakes

What happened

I want to know

Won’t somebody

Tell me

Someone should know

There were so many people

And somehow

She still doesn’t know.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Are happy they made it through childbirth.

-Jennie Nawrocki

Could it be

What about

Have you thought of

They are going to say

They probably think

Goodness gracious not

I should cover my basis

I can’t say this

Won’t do that

But what if

I must

Ugh what now

I didn’t think of

-Jennie Nawrocki

When you trust

You believe

What is done

Is

What is said

You believe

You know

Their intentions

You believe

You understand

Your relationship

Inter dynamics

You believe

Trust is honesty

Which is not a lie

Because your beliefs

Are trustworthy

-Jennie Nawrocki

Happy Easter.

-Jennie Nawrocki

A heart

Was meant

For steady beats

Without fibrillation

Without skips

Without freezing

Gentle must be

The ba boomps

Or quick

In athleticism

But steady

All the same

Just as your

Love must be

Steady like

A heart beat

-Jennie Nawrocki

We all

Find ourselves

Either

Positive

Or negative

Towards

Our goals

Is it inward

Satisfaction

Or outward

Satisfaction

Or a combination

Because

True positivity

Has obtained

Satisfaction

-Jennie Nawrocki
