Yesterday
April Penn the psychology of the oppressed where mental health is the ability to repress knowledge of the world’s cruelty ~ Audre Lorde, "Eulogy for Alvin Frost" In North Dakota, "security officers" beat, tear-gassed, and released loose dogs upon indigenous protesters yesterday in America while the adult children of the two main presidential candidates gave interviews that news broadcasters said, "Humanized them," relinquishing viewers from thinking about nonrenewable energy, the destruction of clean drinking water, the increasing temperature of the ocean preceding mass die off of ocean species... the genocide suits that we're born into don't look down you'll see I don't know what to say. People say/I find myself saying The system is corrupt The people who I agree with feel like they are going to die young or live old lives repeating the same reminders like a game of telephone where no one knows what sentence we started with. Do you really think we would defeat planet Earth? Earth will always win! There is a fantasy of the oppressed being secretly more powerful. Like kissing death.
