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.
I was not ready for the sheer strength of this poem upon first glance. Thank you
