Snippets of my past become the script of my dreams
And images of my dreams wake me up, follow me through my days
Heeding of warning and of memories concerning”

An omen of death
Whose mere appearance
Leads us down an early

“Collecting thin
Stripes on your limbs
Assortments of raised,
Zombie-dead skin
I too collect marks of death
I don’t wear them on the skin of my arm,
But in the meaty crevices of my heart”

“I am an abolitionist and against incarceration due to the treacherously inhumane treatment that I know first-hand happens behind the locked walls of the state. Therefore I choose to not give my money to an industry and corporations that depend upon locking living beings up in cages for a profit.”

These are issues that are vehemently threatening the rights and humanity in a more palpably transparent way than we’ve seen in our lives. Do not deny yourself the reality of what you are feeling because you don’t want to have your Leftist card revoked.
