Ode to Vonnegut

In this time of need our voices are front page news
No, they are merely social media news
The corrupt and powerful news doesn't want to hear us
We don't sell papers- get ratings.
Our wants, our needs, are sifted through a corporate funnel
All that makes it out is social abuse, gay discrimination, racist cops
-Murder
They want us to hate each other
They are using a magic trick on our minds
so we don't see the other cards
The cards of joy, success and community
They are taking the brush from our hands, taking over the picture
And all of those without an education, those who have already lived a life of suffering
They do not see the warning signs.
It is time to grow, time to open or hearts, time to finally SEE
We are really the ones with the power
We must find the cure for fear
The fear and ignorance that is being fed, growing like a cancer
We must find our voice and educate, even ourselves
We can take off the blinders, the social media head gear
This is not "Harrison Bergeron".

I DON'T EAT SUNSHINE AND PREACH POSITIVITY. I SPEAK TRUTH. MANY TRUTHS OF REALITIES AND DESIRE. I HAVE SWALLOWED THE DARK MOMENTS SET UPON ME,  THE FILTHY OFFERINGS OF SUBSTINACE. I HAVE DEVOURED THE HATEFUL INDIFFERENCE. MY SOUL BLACKENED WITH FEAR AND MISTRUST. MY MENTAL FORTITUDE RIDDLED WITH SHAME. MY BODY MARKED AND SCARED FROM THE INJUSTICE. I DO NOT EAT BEAUTY AND LOVE. I STAND IN MY GRACE, IN MY HONESTY. HEALING AND HOLDING IN THE SPACE WHERE I AM UNAPOLAGETIC AND DELICIOUS.
