A "non-poetic" protest poem from October of last year. "Sorry for Complaining, But" by Sean Eaton. #poetry #poetrysky #poetrycommunity #writing #protestpoem
"Sorry for Complaining, But" by Sean Eaton I wanted to buy for my shelf a beautiful miniature but my credit debt is a red cadmium sunrise glibly dappled by a sarcastic artist. He laughs and won’t let paint dry, reveling in toxicity, because I’ve doubled my pandemic waistline and now my hale woolen peacoat looks shrink-wrapped around me. This is not a poetic poem, but who really cares when Craft bodyslams Truth and throws them in the back of ICE’s black vans? When the Political Opposition writes Strong Worded Letters of complaint while vilifying civil disobedience? Everything is a game to the brunch-loving caste, state-sanctioned parades with no material demands, and here comes another issue of shitting and farting from that poetry quarterly everyone reveres, and, for their prestige, their tastes are unacceptably boring, but I don’t have the time to rebuke bleak venality when I’m busy just trying to continue my existence. For now, I have freedom, and a language to make love to on my better days, so I don’t want to die just yet, that can happen after society or the biome collapses. This is not a poetic poem, but I’m scrounging for pennies on a fixed income that may soon disappear. Look, O First World, I’m a Good Poor Person™, I behave myself and budget my dollars. I don’t eat avocados, so why do I have nothing? Bills, clothes, or treats, why must I choose between what I want, owe, and need? Well, one succulent berry remains on the bough: I’ve cancelled my worthless poetry subscription, so I can hold off on buying another bookshelf, for now.

Boosting the signal for my recently penned protest poem "Why?", just in case any of you missed it.

Because I'm rather pedantic at times, I made some minor changes to my recent poem "Why?" to retain my syllable pattern (6-6-6, 5-5-5, 4-4-4, 3-3-3, 2-2-2, 1-1-1, 1). I noticed I broke the pattern toward the end, but I've fixed it. Makes for a more solid poetic work.

Some thoughts for the morning...

#poem #protestpoem #poetry #poet #femalepoet #honesty #capitalism
You can make a movie against violence. But if it makes money for those who create violence, What has it done? You can create a tv show about the terror of abuse. But if it makes money for abusers to hide behind, What has it done? You can make a song to say "Protect the Dolls." But if it makes money for those who turn the dolls away, What has it done? You can make a painting to give voice to the unseen. But if it makes money for those who refuse to see, What has it done? You can make a poem to call it all out. But if it makes money for the same system, What has it done?

A poem for those who refuse to look away.
May we continue to look, speak, and feel deeply. Compassion is resistance.

against a photo of a protester waving a US flag mounted upside down a pole, a poem called Below Ground reads Below Ground as its army of hatred scorch-earths the nation fueled by #spiritual deformity and a supremacy ideal this revival is revealing their new Jesus was never entombed but instead managed to claw his way from the dirt of The Pet Cemetery where white christian nationalism so cleverly buried him

I will continue.
I will continue to be the beacon in the dark,
The mirror that reflects your ugliness.
I will continue to be unapologetically me,
To the detriment of your warped ideology.
I will continue to fight, to rally
Against you.
I will continue.

A sort of #protestpoem today for my Sunday poetry soapbox.

I’m wrangling something else but it’s a long way off ready!

A poem by Debbie Ross. Copyrighted. Protection Racket They wrapped you in cotton wool for your own protection home-care prescribed nothing more to do. They blindfolded your reality for your own protection - information can be dangerous in the wrong minds. They draped a gown of ignorance around you - for your own protection withhoding truth they lied your future in a breath. Making preparations, not invoving you for your own good. And for your own good, in kindy protection, you transferred to eternity still wondering why they coudnt face reality.

Good morning. Still on my solo spot for a Sunday protest poem. All a bit tongue in cheek so far, but we’ll see where it goes. This is a very old one, so the cultural references were very dating. I changed one of them. It was placed in a competition oh so long ago…

A poem by Debbie Ross copyrighted Armchair Activist I'm an armchair activist I switch channels when the other parties politically broadcast, shake my head at the ten o'clock news. I'm an armchair activist I mark the documentaries In the TV Times Then laugh on cue With re-runs of 'Qi' Or 'Have I got News.! I'm an armchair activist eagerly involved in TV debate I ignore the politician at the door, and in fairness, the man from Christian Aid. I'm an armchair activist firmly entrenched in velour-views, action amounting to no more than two fingers up at a thirty inch screen

Remember, Remember
The 6th of December
14 young engineers shot
Remember, Remember
How Buffalo Woman ended
In a waste yard plot
Remember, Remember
A Yonge St. stroll
Turned into a murderous walk
I know of no reason
These horrible
FEMICIDES
should be forgot
💃🥀 🌹💃🏻🌹🥀💃🏽
