White supremacy is adept at quiet infiltration; appearing absent even as it pulls the strings. 

Our clarity is it’s greatest threat. 

With clarity we can exercise discernment. 

With discernment we can learn to trust ourselves.

Arriving fiercely in our power; to give voice to what we know:

We deserve worlds better than the one that’s been built. 

And indeed we have the power; to tear down what harms us. 

And indeed we have the power; to rebuild. 

To heal ourselves. 

But first we must get absolutely clear on what is here. 

But first we must get absolutely clear on what is true. 

Words in the image from my poem “Life Lives to Love,” click here to read.

Words in the image read:

Shout out to the false equivalencies

Should out to the half truth

The masked truth

And anything but the actual truth

Shout out to the standards

That are not standard

Selectively applied

So as to disguise the hypocrisy

That underlies it all

White supremacy is a hell of a high

And an even heavier fall

Back to reality
