Creations-a-Day: 02/16

Day 16 Creations:

Today’s Bad Poet prompt was to create a poem that: is angry, is sarcastic, explores relationship with rage, or points at the absurdity of what pisses me off.

Once upon a time
nearly everything pissed me off

No. Really.
It was absurd.

Add years
Add intentional healthing & growth

Once upon a now
Far fewer things truly piss me off

And they aren’t so absurd
… injustice
in all of its forms
… oppression
… capitalism
… certainly fucking genocide
… patriarchy
… racism

… ambivalence
… apathy
to all of the injustice

Once upon a time
I carried anger that wasn’t mine &
wasn’t worth carrying

Once upon a new
much of my anger is righteous
… focused on protecting the things,
the beings,
I love

How do these connect with you?
