@likaluca Riots are side effects of treating a malady we’ve left unresolved too long. Painful, but a small price for the opp to deal with how POC are treated in this country while many of us watch it unfold from the safety of our homes, largely unaffected by it all. Let’s not lose the plot

To explain the joke
Or title the story
Explicitly as an allegory
Betrays the point
For which you spoke

So let the laugh come
Or let the dim leave
It matters not if he comes to believe
You’ve done your part
You may win some

[Llewelyn Rastid @PeriodicPoet]

So much to reconcile
If not now, then when?
If not now, then perish
the idea of the American

Our freedom at what price?
And paid for by who?
Using others’ money
has left us indentured as our due

We have sins for which we
have yet to repent
For how long will our debt
accrue interest and at what percent?
