Leara writes and other creative things…
Portfolio including poetry and flash fiction from micro fiction to short stories and a bit of photography thrown in for good measure.
I bit my tongue for so long
It went numb- so
I tried to write it all down
Then I switched to typing
But no matter which method I used
My asthmatic fingers
Couldn’t keep up
With all the time
I’ve been under your thumb
The prompt is “my fingers have asthma” from Maria Giesbrecht @theguelphpoet on Instagram. April 21, National Poetry Month 2022.
Resistance for a cause
Go the distance for a cause
Reject compliance
Refuse reliance
On unjust laws
Stand up for the weak
Defend the meek
Speak for the oppressed
And distressed
Be the voice they seek
Abandon a system that’s broken
Politicians say they have spoken
For you but their interests are more valuable
And that comes down to capital
Don’t fall for their cheap tokens
Resistance for a future
Go the distance for a future
Reject obedience
Proceed with expedience
From your mindlessly imposed stupor
