One Terrifying Immediate Future
The gnarled fists of primal retribution
snarl around my heart
and beat my intestines into placidity,
my guts only an observatory
outside what I got used to understanding
was a way of living and breathing.
How do I meditate when spiritually and emotionally disemboweled???
Why do we expect our lives to get better?
When do we have to fight?!
…
We may be less than a year away from this headline:
“TRUMP’S NATIONAL GUARD GUNS DOWN 300 PEOPLE DURING WOMEN’S MARCH.”
After 2 months voting will seem like it was 3 lifetimes ago. People will be talking to their friends wondering how things changed so quickly, and why the world got confusing so fast.
Remember people in Nazi Germany still lived fairly routine lives throughout World War II.
Make your decisions now,
before you’re too terrified or emotionally removed to even think or feel at all, much less speak what is actually inside you that isn’t already sanctioned.
