2022 Poem Ten

CW: Eugenics, June 2022 current events but not named specifically

 

Catching up on the news means:

relearning that justice doesn’t exist

and that people don’t learn.

I was born to be:

a canary in a coal mine;

the PSA on who you aren’t supposed to be;

a danger to be warned about.

I exist so you have ghost stories. A boogeyman.

Our screams covered by the sounds of the ocean

as we scream from our shipwreck.

 

You cannot get your rights without our help so do not leave us behind.
