Explode Hope Is All

for a free Palestine

 

explode militant aesthetics outta this;

expand militant poetics from this

when language cannot confront

for fear of chastisement, enforced impotence

against the white bloc tactics of media

only the black bloc theatrics will do

speechless because public speech

is lessening our moral grasp while

stark is the truth in inaction and

avoiding pesky fact formation by

embracing a debased arena of debate

as if to maintain a liberal-looking

measure is the test of empathy to

earnestly forgo the death tolls

assuaged by ever more rhetoric

words in chains cannot bare this

weight nor eyes stare straight at

these obvious atrocities. curve twist

break burn language through to more

than critique through to seek a hope

beyond banal back-and-forth
