Boiling
^^*^^^**^^^^***^^^^^****
Boiling blood paces the floor of injustice
Justice can’t dawdle forever.
How on earth have you captured the role of vice president?
You blame, shame, and fool around.
I can’t seem to push the shock away.
Corruption climbs a flimsy rope with deceptive biceps.
I lust for a megaphone and everyone’s attention.
Calling the core values back up from the drain that the plunger tried to flush.
A rush of passion and energy,
I give my final prophetic speech,
before I carve off the leech that has been taking my life and dignity.
We will rise above the darkness and harsh organizational changes that sever us each day!

Yes! Thank you for these moving words. It reminds me that we are called to speak out when we see injustice, protect those who suffer under oppression or any kind of trouble, and support the dignity of all
I like the imagery of carving off the leech lol But yes, we will rise above whatever the enemy throws at us because no weapon shall prosper.
This one boils with righteous fire! The line "Corruption climbs a flimsy rope with deceptive biceps" hits deep.
This is raw and honest!! Great
Loved this righteous anger. Thanks for writing such an honest piece!
When the night is deep and quiet, I take out my heart and mend it up When I woke up, I was full of confidence again To live, one must forge ahead through mountains and build Bridges over rivers Self-salvation is ability, while helping others is broad-mindedness Forgive everything before going to bed, and you will be reborn when you wake up.
