White Noise

(Warning: foul language)

Rallies, hired guards,
warnings of revolution
and God knows what

Ambition is a cruel cage

Freak offs, and hitmen,
made-up masculinity
unintelligible banter

Power wields cold chains

Misogyny is not a win
archaic ideations –
not the mark of divinity-

Free the barbed emotions
of Patriarchal walls
unstable…and now…
exposed

Despair is paralysis
a surrender to the lies

Shooter drills no solution

It’s fear that motivates
and righteousness that binds
and in the white noise
of rising awareness

The perpetrators
calmly walk away
Exit strategy preplanned

While we pray
that karma is a bitch
and limp back
to our wasted lives.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  14. “Powerful and raw—this cuts deep. A searing indictment of toxic power, fear, and the systems that let perpetrators walk free. The imagery of cages, chains, and wasted lives lingers long after reading. 🔥”

  16. I once attempted (a poor attempt) to paint me with 2 sides, as your image.

    Hypocrisy resides in all. Sadly, none escape it’s evil effects while on this earth.

    Harsh reality needs no canvas, but then again, maybe it does. Language doesn’t bother me a bit.

    “Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.” Romans 12:9.
