#anti-war
Nothing can stop us.
It is very easy, I’m doing it right now.
My heart is heavy for Ukraine today. As always, it feels absurd to go about my normal life when others’ lives are being torn apart by the ravages of war and imperialism.
The line.
The line is a back alley surgeon.
It says your liver, it don’t look good
and pockets aren’t full but we’re good
less a scalpel and more
at knife point robbing
like an alley crook would
The line is a magician
step up to the show
see how the collared workers know
their taxed labor goes: poof
disappears but don’t see
whose wallet it when to though
The line is a drama queen
yelling I’m quick I’m falling
please rescue me
tipping back it’s own chair
waiting for that safety net
of citizen’s green
The line is fickle
and it thinks those people
they aren’t humble enough
thinks Raytheon’s belly
it rumbles too much
hungry for missiles to tumble above
The line is watching
as a pandemic spits spreading
it does a little dance yelling
while coffers open to it
and coffins doors are closing
on poor coughing souls departing
The line isn’t an object
its made of people.
Who themselves aren’t abject
but paid hedgers profitable
banking the billions off
the backs of the raging bull
markets mean murder for some
and mansions for fewer
and they laugh from on hilltops
while we watch from the sewers
and it plays out both in motions
of the line.
The world stands with Ukraine
The world stands with Ukraine
Even symbolic support is not meaningless; with every such gesture you are preventing the claim that no one cares, no one opposes, no one disagrees, no one minds.
Been really busy with this war. I’m involved with a few grassroots organisations helping people get out of Ukraine. But I’m still around. If anyone wanted to get involved dm me
