The Moat
She has suffered. She can never go back. Yet how will she go forward?
Social Media Soldier
Appeasement
(A piece of Meant)
Sharing a meme
Does not mean
You live by its philosophy
Protesting online
Does not equate to
Any real action
Liking a status
Or comment
Is less than
Fuck all
Don’t swindle yourself
Consensus
Satisfier.

Next Post,
An important new Video Poem well worth sharing, especially given the recent talk about violence against women.
What did we do wrong
The excessive unjust
Overused terms
such as devastation
Only serve to
undermine the unseasoned
Terror,
frustration, helplessness
Grief and anxiety
Being experienced
by millions of Nepalese
Today
With many more tomorrows
In the pipeline.
Who do you turn
to
When there’s no aid
much less guidance?
What do you
drink
When there is no
fresh water?
How to you stay
dry and warm
With your house disintegrated?
Buildings on foundations
shattered
How do you stop
your child from crying
With no promises
of better hours?
How do you
protect your loved ones
With chaos as
bedfellow
And unpredictability
as the norm?
How do you find
the missing
And roads fractured
beyond use?
Infrastructure
shattered
Crops ruined
The future is blighted
Yet the focus
must be now
Suffering
demands it.
