I felt overwhelmed by the #inauguration today so I tried to put some of my feelings into words and wrote my first spoken word poem. Text below.

. “Today feels like the clock was set back on evolution, and part of me wants to step back with it; shut my eyes to the effort of change. It’s easier to turn a blind eye than turn and face the strange. But if we want a revolution, we can’t become what we oppose, throw the same stone that broke our hearts and bones, cause there’s love in anger but there’s no love in hate. So if you feel the weight of the world, don’t lose your sense of outrage, but don’t let hatred win. And as reality sinks in, use your indignation, to fuel the nation to be united by states of consciousness, not a state of decay. Cause what does it say about us that we consume readily, inhale and digest the very thing we claim we want to stay away from. Like a moth to a flame. The nature of blame means I let go of responsibility; If my hands not on the wheel I have no culpability. So if I want to be the change I wish to see in the world, I have to see myself more clearly, wipe the entitlement from my rose-coloured glasses. A glass ceiling won’t shatter if my vibrations are silent.” by baumanelise
