Handmade laminated poetry sheet.
Poem:
Faith
I am soul. I am fire. I am body.
I am the earth, the wind, the rain, the blood of a thousand lives.
The tears of birth
How life ruptures us into a new beginning.
Only if we pay attention.
Only when we give respect.
Only when we honor the ones that have fallen for us to be free.
Only when we understand how slavery took new form.
I see
Children digging for cobalt as we drink our blue bottles
Women sewing 17 hour days as we trade in trends
Men desperately working the fields as we shovel food into garbage cans
Then the rest of us become slaves to the machine
The school system
Feeding into your 9-5
Your career
Feeding into
Capitalism
The lie that
You could feel complete with enough wasted time and money
That anything outside yourself could complete you other than the almighty itself
We thought comfort was the answer
it is killing us
Is the luxury of illusion worth a child’s life?
