Say What You Need 2 Say   Poet. Activist. World Citizen.

"All these “real women..” phrases are getting a bit much. Women are human beings who take up about 50% of the world’s population. Like the plants of a garden, each one is endowed with her own talents and beauty while being an essential part of the progress of the whole of humankind. Just as the plants of the garden help each other grow and reach toward the sun, I hope we ladies can attain this sense of collective community."

24/30

If you want to restore your faith in love,

become a spectator at airport arrival gates.

Bright sky faces and celestial bodies,

arms stretched out in full extension;

hearts on edge like runway lights.

4/30 Geocentrism

Dear Earth,

you have always moved in devout rotation around the Sun.

 

Yet, scientists once affirmed that this process was absolutely reversed.

Exceptional men delivered exceptional speeches

and well-informed dissertations

about how you

 

are the center of the universe,

the daily inspiration;

how the Sun moved enraptured by the vibrancy of your beauty,

 

and this It does.

 

For how can One not adore that which was created by the fire of Its love?

 

Dear Earth,

the Sun is shining brightly;

It will burn.

It will burn.

It will burn.

 

It will give light,

and warmth,

and light.

 

All that remains

is for you to take your turn.

"The gentle twitching of our bodies and soft heaving of our chests give them all the impression that we are resting. We are deceiving. We are not sleeping; we are dreaming.
We are whispering soft secrets to the midnight air. We are telling boogiemen and bedmonsters that we refuse to be scared…"
