Day 27: ...

They call us emotional-
but it's suits that launch death at dawn.
One man's ego can tilt a continent,
A play-by-play of the same act:
Titles tied with entitlement
telling you about maps bleeding not from an ordinary turning of the earth,
but from decisions made in cold rooms.
Ambition spent in all the wrong ways,
tampering with the ideals of living that took centuries to earn.
But we will not sleep with our eyes wide open,
we will face the same Home we've always done to pray
for a globe less bruised,
for the lump in our throats to ease into a breath
that is not so hard to swallow.
“You’re being emotional” is definitely weaponized. Some emotions go unnoticed, some only notice emotional reactions in others, and some try to rob us of reasonable emotional reactions given what we experience.
