What is important to me may
not be equally significant to you
but how come you have all
the power
and I have to do all the work?
Sometime along last night I know,
you think you know,
what is best for all of us but you
did not see me trying to toil
it all out while the others slept before
the plane can fly off again
Tell me now, tell me straight
don’t let me guess and pretend that
it’s something along those lines.
You have already built your wall
fair and square
red or blue
so prepare for fight,
bloodshed and fallen soldiers
just like how I am bleeding
even when I am standing by the side
because you shot me
when you draw this line
only after I crossed it

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.
