another risk
was generations in the making
there is nothing we can do.
fires, nightmare scenarios
flames that won’t die out
always behind us.
the never-ending conflict,
isolation and division
this crisis exposes an ugly side.
an intense war,
deliberate,
burns in places that normally don’t see fire.
worries don’t translate.
riven by grief,
forgotten.
the towering lies
waiting to be discovered.
reports of change were exaggerated –
deception coming into focus.
an exodus –
seeking refuge
good cries,
recovery,
learning how to smile again,
how to save a year that’s unlike any other.
forever trying to heal trauma
with one shot.
rising up kills –
sit down
and shut up.

It’s awesome 👏
