Haiku in Half Love

once i loved a man

Reflections on Public Confessions

My heart is heavy. I used to ride the bus with my daughter to school in the morning and come back to start the day. There was a mother openly discussing the molestation of her daughter by her sister's boyfriend. The little girl was seated beside her. She looked about six. The mother was upset at her sister because she went after their mother. She added, to the person she was conversing with, that her mother did not need the stress. Apparently, she had been molested at three by her own father. She said that it's the past, she was over it. Her mother had him locked up; her father apologized because he was sick at the time (abusing alcohol and drugs). The woman's mother apparently took her father back into the house. 

Now, the woman's sister is in the same cycle: she was in the other room while this precious six year old was being touched. The woman made this entire tragedy about her sister not being able to get over abuse that happened 30 years ago. 

The woman's public confession was loud. She was oblivious to the horrified silence of the bus passengers. She was completely unaware that she was humiliating her daughter. I locked eyes with the sad/stone-faced little girl with as much comfort as I could. I held my own daughter's hand tightly.

When are we going to get to the heart of the sicknesses that plague all our communities at large? Can you imagine the countless households who think that this is the norm?

EAT KARMA (12.12.2020)/punk

EAT KARMA 

locked in our homes

while they change the laws

raid the wrong place

shooting rounds thru the walls

confusion and lies

the emperor wears no draws

best to keep us separate

so no one knows the score

went to school to learn

how to best the best

each day brings

a new series of tests

big dirty secrets

no one will confess

leaving the masses in

grand distress

no

you can't move to mars

your money won't protect you

you can't move to mars

you can't pretend to forget

dude

what happens to your neighbor

still affects you

what happens to your neighbor

still affects you

CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?

DO MY ANCESTORS HAUNT YOU?

HAS THE PROMISE OF KARMA

STARTED TO TAUNT YOU?

what if the people

wake to their power?

would it make all your

evil plans sour?

would you go and hide

in your glass tower?

WHAT IF THE PEOPLE

TAKE BACK THEIR POWER?

CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?

ARE THE ANCESTORS HAUNTING YOU?

HAS THE THREAT

OF LOOMING KARMA

BEEN TAUNTING YOU?

you won't win against the light!

some of us are scared-

but the rest of us will fight!

uprisings everywhere-

we will restore what's right!

don't sleep

don't sleep

we are up now

we will fight now

don't sleep

KARMA IS COMING

TO WASH AWAY THE FILTH

TO RESTORE THE ORDER

TO STRENGTHEN OUR WILL

EAT THE RICH 

AND

BRING THE SYSTEM DOWN

THE OLD WAYS ARE DEAD

MUST DROWN

MUST DROWN

THE PEOPLE ARE IN POWER

NOW.
