Pigeon Tart and Harry Horsman On Ps Are

Muareen Macgreavy and Harry Horsman Speak Truth to power
In my darkest moments on Poetry Soup
These were hero and SHE-ro who did not imply
Dr. Anil Deo is insane for writing about George Floyd
They did not maintain a thundering quiet
Cowardly quiet, when we will write about terrorists
when "White governments" call any of us terrorists
Not quite right, "White governments" call THEM the terror

A senryu for these heroes, or for POETRY's sake ---

sudden gusts of Fall - green heroes fall in twos, threes yes, trees, and you, me

What a beautiful tribute, yes they are brave to speak their truth, and not give in to the 'thundering quiet' - I applaud this!

I think that true empathy is a hot commodity these days my friend. These, days, what am I saying? I stand by you. Inspired by a lovely poetess here, I have painted a big heart on my front door with the words "one love". If I could do anything for you, it is to give you a lovely reggae ear worm: one love, one heart, let's get together and feel all right ~xomo <3
