If you refuse
to stop twisting
the knife,
you do not get a gold sticker
for offering band-aids after.
Instead,
you’re rewarded with a chest
full of life, and perhaps a metal
badge to pin on it.
A broken system that “serves justice” does not serve anyone but itself. As long as it is preserved, it can continue breaking the peace it claims to uphold.
I’m hopeful to think a system is only as strong as the belief people hold in it. That belief is changing, but it must change faster.
We must turn away from this broken system… returning to holding value in ourselves and forming small communities of independence👋 “C”
