The Personal is Political

A Poem

Photo by John Matychuk on Unsplash

We live in a world Where it is almost impossible

To see the harm To trace it back

In all that we do, wear, eat, consume We live in a world where this is hidden

It is no surprise most people Want to pretend

There is no harm There is no root

That this final product Be it porn or cheerios

Is safe, fine, just a choice The oppressions underneath

The loss of soul and morality The exploitation

Don’t connect Because so many would rather look away

Than truly change themselves, the world It’s easier to

Ignore and perpetuate Than it is to stand up, speak out, and build anew

There is no shelter, no excuse, no justification Worthy of allowing exploitation to exist in your name

Ignorance is participation in oppression.
