We Fester

I.

Suppurating wounds sprout
Like wildflowers. We persist—
Purposefully ignorant, inured,
Anesthetized, self-aggrandized.
We, founders of wastelands—
Never heeding a lesson, ever
Unappreciative, and masters
Of all we destroy. We fester.

II.

Think.
Feel.
Love.
Change.
Act.

What I’m Reading:

“If I act and work and write as though a more just future will exist, perhaps I’ll be one step closer to believing in it.”

— Nicole Chung / “When You Can’t Find the Words”
