Racism, colourism, tribalism; fascism dressed in vague wisdom; the space of a passive Christian with prideful criticism, stuck in a complicated class of subjects, all wrapped in classism… Being stuck in love’s tourism— visiting feelings, never living in them; searching for truth inside soft euphemisms; sinking in a fear baptism, dark thoughts dumbing time, blondism, bleaching beauty into belief… painting false pictures of perfect men, and women... Ill-mannered tempers in one’s mannerisms; tables set in polished perfectionism— yet the last one to eat, carries a hunger, a quiet gluttony within them. Cause really, we’re ALL stuck in a prism— split into colours, shaped by every and all “isms”; and the person you say you’re not… look again— you’re living some part of them. So break out the prism— before it becomes your prison.

We Are All The Isms Within Us
A mere click of a button and you’re jumping for joy A long way we have travelled from pure chaste intentions but how outdated we still are Faded memories are what we once called the best of days Now the faster the earth orbits, the feeble our minds are now becoming What do we do?
