you said it beautifully. We believe we dont have the power but we do. We can say no to devout ourselves to the temple of consumerism. Because they only feed their greed through our money.
Nadia. I'm stunned. This is a truly astonishing poem. As I was reading it, I could hardly believe my eyes - so much truth, so much understanding, so much clarity, so much honesty! I am impressed almost beyond words. What a profound and beautiful poem. A perfect expression of my own perspective - completely. My gratitude and appreciation is boundless.....
Thank you so much Leon for reading and letting me know how the piece resonates with you. it was born in deep deep anger, despair and hope. I am glad I am not the only one. 🙏🏼
Your writing is angry, probing, honest and hopeful. You tell stories and have conversations with yourself while challenging the world. Thats your writing formula. ❤️
Thank you friend! I guess I think of a formula as a strategy, a template followed with intention - but I just write from the heart, it just spills out without following a structure. But I guess that's a formula. too. You put it beautifully.
Urgh all of this. Every word. They will know no peace. This all has to fall.
There is no other way ❤️
so real
Thank you for reading ❤️
That grasped the air in my lungs the whole time, truly breathtaking.
An astonishing piece Nadia, wow.
It felt like that when I was writing it too. Breathless, angry, desperate, ready.

That's it! We have SO much power in our hands, with where we direct our attention, money, time and energy too.
