Do not apologise

Do not apologise for seeking social justice.
Do not apologise for believing in a higher ethic.
Do not apologise for expecting competence and integrity
in our leaders; in our institutions.
Do not apologise for wanting better for yourself;
for your children; for your fellow Beings.
Do not apologise for respecting our planet
in our taking; in our sharing.
Do not apologise for imagining a future of peace;
of freedom; of dignity
but welcome your humanity.
A kinder world is possible; is waiting.

Half the woman I was,
Yet thrice her more:
Time takes its toll;
Life bears reward.

#Valentines

Romantic gestures are not a public test of duty;
Love is not a one-day annual event.
Every day is a good day to say
“I love you”
Every day is when to show it. If meant.

Cognition disabled

Between want and its think,
does the intellect shrink
to reject all conditions
that challenge position
as feeling meets static
in willing fanatics,
attracted to zealotry,
simple and tacit.

Cognition disabled,
crude labels get fabled
in finely tuned riffs,
adding pith to the myths
that enable the risibly
cheap narratives

as if actual factuals
didn’t exist;
as if truth got its proof
by the gift of low wish
and the gallop of Gish

until, hook, line and sinker
the sheep become fish

Fear creates a feast

Fear creates a feast
to suit the taste
of each invited guest
that takes a seat
and makes request,
to fill the belly of a beast.
We are what we eat.

Light rite

Light-seeding:
Before planting, weeding
After planting, weeding.

Bright blessings of Imbolc, to you. The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness shall never overcome It. ⚡️
