Chaotic Splendor

Chaotic Splendor (a haibun variation)

 

Racism, bigotry, prejudice: are overused terms used extensively by the oppressed and those of inferior race and breeding. The world is upside down, it’s up to us to turn it back around. The barbarians are at the gate! We will do what needs to be done; our way of life is at stake!

 

boot on the neck

a jog down a street-

I have a dream

 

We’re all part of the same dust, so let’s be careful with that broom. The color of our skin: be it white, black, brown, red, or yellow, doesn’t determine who is superior over the other. Whom we choose to love, what faith to believe in, or what gender we identify with is a personal choice, not a choice made by specific groups where intolerance is a virtue. And let’s not forget that the barbarians broke down that gate and conquered Rome...

 

on the mountaintop

hand in hand

front of the bus

 

rainbow landscapes

the turtle reaches the finish line

 

the rabbit died from exhaustion...
