The World in Chaos

Life As We Know It

A history they say should not be.

And now it isn’t.

Love and liberty: what do they mean?

Just a memory?

Forwards, Backwards, 180 degrees.

Reorient me.

These hardened hearts, they never appease

But push their beliefs.

A tug of war giving rise to more

Until it’s full-blown.

But still, rehash the pain women bore

As if not human.

Still deny minority choices

As if meaningless.

You took our rights but not our voices

And we will not mute.

Relish this moment, this façade

Because it won’t last.

Hide behind your hatred and your rod.

We have love to share.
