A little rat-a-tat-tap

Group-think tanks
splashing ink like
ASCII with hyperlinks
I’m done with identity
Political expediency
Eugenic entitlement to
Hegemonic enlightenment
I’m losing the need
To plead my reality
Or what I might need
What I will or won’t be
In the service of greed
I leave it all to you
Sisters and brothers
From a billion other mothers
Cos I’m hopeful and hopeless
And no part of me believes
We can group-think our dreams…

      There was definitely music in my head for this one. It just flew onto the page, with rhythm and rhyme already formed. Sometimes our art is like that and we feel blessed!

  2. Some days the words we are looking for just seem to appear without much effort and on other days, we struggle to form them. This is obviously your magical day & I applaud you. Well done Robyn! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🌹

    As am I, and my empire is behind all of this hell.

    “And no part of me believes

    Spot on correct, Robyn! The herd mentality has paved the path to hell!

    So great, Robyn!!!

    You know – that’s pretty good! 🙂
    I like the way the words sound like the rapping of a keyboard, the rapping on a door and the rapping of a brother who knows where he needs to be.
    Well done.
    Kindness – Robert.
