A society that punishes and crushes dissent and resistance.
The fear has grown into an unimaginable force
at times consuming righteousness and truth.
I am left feeling mentally and verbally paralyzed...
unable to express what I am feeling most deeply.
Alone in my head
I have entered their place for me to sit and wait to die
swimming in my silence.
Then, as a candle burning I hear your voices
and I remember all that they have made me forget.
We are whole
we ARE human
we have sucked their poison long enough
I have drowned
and been reborn in their poison
flooding the airwaves
flooding our brainwaves
but I am finished
I won’t swallow.
