Hand me a paintbrush
And I’ll splash color across the sky
Wide strokes, vibrant
The sun shines through
Casting the earth in multicolored brilliance
A riot of colors
So that I might show others
The vividness of my mind
Paint my imagination
To be understood

You have no
Reason to love
Me; for I am as
Attractive as a
Badly made, cracked mosaic
A lumpy *** thrown from
Flawed clay

You, who have doomed us
Murdered our children and our futures
Oppressed us under the name of
Progress
Watch in terror as we rise
We are done suffering
For the sake of
Worthless money
This is our home
And you are poisoning it
You pollute our waters
Contaminate our air
Burn our planet
No more!
It is time for you to remember
Why nobility of old feared
Revolution

We shall watch the stars fall
When the end of days comes
We will stand
There is a natural order to things
And we have uprooted it
We have upended the earth
In search of power
Our hubris will be humbled
for when the stars fall
we must stand
And watch

My bare
Bowed
Shoulders are scarred with
The testimony of my
Failure and
My suffering
Burdens
Carved into
My bones

Nerve damage is
A hell I wouldn't wish upon my
Worst enemy
Six hours of
Constant agony
Sapping my energy for
Anything but curling in the
Fetal position, phone on hand
I can't think
I can't function
Trigeminal neuralga
The most innocuous name
For incurable torture

I step in a space
Between time
Breath in
The same scents of eons ago
No matter how much changes
I remain anchored
In a ceremony timeless
