ROAR

Aug 15, 2021

First, if only in your sleep. 
ROAR
Minds chew on lies and misdirects
served on silver platters.
Drop your fork.
ROAR
A heart’s truth, too large for
small intentions.
ROAR
Louder than noisy boxes and puppets.
ROAR
Children safely behind our flanks.
ROAR   ROAR    ROAR
Crowded stage with dusty actors
bow for canned applause. 
Drop your tickets.
ROAR
Cover, cower, close, nod, point, sigh, cry, blame, 
shame, isolate, inject, reject. 
Reflect. 
ROAR
Lazy labels and condescending slander 
are more acid than arrow
all pain, no point.
ROAR
Feast on questions even whispered.
Contrived consensus left for fodder.
ROAR.
Eyes open, discernment keen, divinity 
at your ear.
ROAR
Meek inherit what bold invested.
ROAR
High above rhetoric, mobs, and musts
fueled by purchase, not protest, or trust.
ROAR
Compromise not homogenize.
Agree to disagree, no sides in sovereignty.
ROAR
Without apology or filter take one magnificent breath
and
ROAR

I support and celebrate every
human being using their voice.

Let no voice be censored.

Staying quiet while another is
gagged silent is to tie the knot
yourself.
