Did you know that before men figured out that it was their sperm impregnating us, they worshiped us and bathed in our menstrual blood?

Did you know that patriarchy is biologically unnatural?

Fuck this.

Silence is so very loud in the ears of those who need you to speak!

Neutrality is so very violent in the hearts of those who need you to love!

Keeping the peace can only keep peace for those who already have it!

That’s why I say something.

I’ve had many notebooks

This is about one of them

The cover was black

It wasn’t for school

I filled each page

Front and back

And by the middle of ninth grade

The notebook was completely full

Of the same sentence

Over and over and over again

“I will not eat”

I wonder who you are, really.

I wonder what you know.

Does it live inside you too?

How far have you been able to grow?

I want to know if you’re happy.

Even though I don’t know you at all.

Sometimes I almost >need< to know you’re okay.

Because, I too, took the same fall.

I haven’t looked to find you.

I hope you survived the attack.

Curiosity killed the cat they say,

but satisfaction brought it back.

So maybe one day I will know,

that you’re happy in the sun.

Maybe one day I’ll know,

that we have really won.

(Draft 2)

I am tired of wondering when they’re going to kill us

And I am incredibly grateful every day they don’t

I was proud to be an American

back when I thought we were free.

I really wont forget the men who died,

Who tried to fight for me.

I’ll still proudly stand up, next to them,

And what they thought we had.

There’s still no doubt I love this land,

I love this stolen land.

From the lakes of Minnesota,

To the hills of Tennessee,

There is fear in most American hearts

from sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,

And New York to LA,

There is ICE around every corner

and a new nazi display.

Reincarnation of actual evil after it’s suspected departure in 1945.

“Smart” Cell phones.

That’s why the anxiety.

The edges are peeling up,

The adhesive has dried,

What lies underneath is showing.

The bodies are talking,

The money’s not holding,

There is no more unknowing.

The papers are out,

The names are all listed,

The record of monsters keeps growing.

The kids aren’t alright,

The hole just gets deeper,

All under the green grass we’re mowing.

Took funds allotted for a deadly pandemic

Smiled with her black soul because her corruption is systemic

Purchased a plane to fly 119 miles

She doesn’t need Epstein, she made her own files

With greed, and crime, and blood on her hands

I hope she does jail time while we get Rob Sand
