I used to read
#history books
wondering
how we allowed
such horrors
to happen.

Now, I read
the news
wondering
the same thing.

Integrity
is not #chic.

Conscience
has no fashion sense.

It doesn't matter
what you're wearing.

It matters
who you are.

Once upon a time,
I was #learning
to listen to my heartbeat
without being bothered
by the noise.

Now, I am learning
to locate its sound
in a sea of other rhythms.

The most #relevant poems
are the most alive.

#Poetry does not
inhabit books.

It possesses us.

It is here now.

Of all the #options,
children.
Of all the crimes,
ones with victims.
Of all the men,
the most powerful.

You can't live a full life
ignoring #reality's beauty
or its brutality.

If the ultimate #goal of a system
isn't freedom for every single member of it,
no one inside that system is free.

The ones who supposedly benefit
from an unjust society
are merely trapped
in a different cage.

I used to think
following the news
was toxic, stressful.

Now, even with my
toddler yelling,
baby crying,
bills piling,
I won't ignore
a human rights #issue.

Don't be fooled
into thinking
it's stressful
to care.

Those inhabiting this dystopia
must have some distraction,
some social, chemical, technological ticket
to #transport them out of the present moment
because this very moment is the only place
where the dystopia can be dismantled.

A study recently proved that
the postpartum period
lasts for at least one year,
not six weeks.

Should I be impressed
that #science is finally
catching up to what
every mother already knew?

Because I'm not.

I am not separate from the news.

I am not helpless.

I am making choices.

I am not a member of the mindless masses.

I am not a #number.

I am not a loyal consumer.

I will not overlook complicity in atrocities.

My integrity is not for sale.

Sudan.
Zahara's family slaughtered.
Eyes ablaze, she chants,

"Our martyrs are not dead.
They live alongside us."

Is this not #poetry?

Gaza.
A man on a pile of rubble
spray paints in English and Arabic:

"We stay."

Is this not #literature?

Marvel at these creators of chaos

using #language as putty,
molding provocative phantasms.

Watch these authors of affectation

editing #law like a manuscript,
crafting wealth-worshipping worlds.

They are the artists now.

The people who gripe about their taxes paying for food banks are always so quiet about their taxes paying for wars and politicians' family vacations.

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous x My Dark Vanessa

Relapse/Rewind: a raw, brutally honest, time-travelling, upmarket page turner about a survivor seeking freedom in all the wrong places.

#Domestic has been my
dirty word.

I have fought back violent hands
and used my own to do too much.

I have watched war swallow memories
and heard my taxes fund atrocities.

Maybe it is every immigrant's curse.
Home is always a bittersweet thing.

Two things I know for sure:

that money comes and goes,
but time never returns
and
that those of us who know this
can only get so close
to those who don't.

I don't know how they do it.
The brainwashed
have limitless #energy
to deny reality.

"But the hostages,
but the hostages..."

Ceasefire violated
for the 47th time
in 9 days.

Imagine denying
a live-streamed genocide.
What lies will they spout now?

bring me a plate of your dreams
bring me a #saucer of secrets

It is not enough
to empathize only
for an audience
or only on Wednesdays
after a nice sleep
and finished chores.

Real compassion
sneaks into every thought,
every #atom, every
otherwise happy moment.

The algorithms demand
for us to #hover over the truth.

We must choose between
being honest and being heard.

Or so they say,
these media goblins,
so they
underestimate us.

Fools.

These headlines read
like a bad thriller:
one-dimensional villains
endless plot holes.

Our modern dystopia.
I wish I could call it #unearthly,
call it poorly written fiction,
call it anything but real.
