The feeding The violence has begun tearing & ripping away at our flesh. carnivorous piece, after piece … blood upon their lips The horror & muffled insatiable cries, the screaming hunger & thirst carried off/ taken away & gorged At first recognizable then indistinguishable Scattered remains & the smell of Rot begins Our Elder dies. Psjwebber (14 Oct 21)

In this day and age we have this reoccurring issue Individuals of all generations advocating for a culture of language abuse Instances of linguistically supported oppression Whose only intention is to condemn its receivers into a depression Toxic tongues with the intent to poison your thinking Promoting all things vile, so fast, nearly blinking Tell me why words like **** offend you more Then the degrading usage of the word ***** I’m sick of people using skin tone and gender to map out one’s prospects Suggesting that not everyone deserves a chance to reach success Institutionalized prejudice Don’t stand for any of this Every individual is beyond just a word Strive to be the definition that they’ve never seen or heard Become the human being that they could never be Resist the forced oppression and strive to be free

"One fast move or I'm gone," I'd thought, And lo here I am ready to cast everything to the wind like so many sails and Off again go running, running away from me
