A poem inspired by a single word. (Content Warning: Reference to sexual assault) |
| "You can change." They said. "You don't have to be bad." They said. Their baseless information, Fueled by inflation. They have no one To lie for their keepsake. Childhoods. "They were broken." They said. Bodies. "They were abused." They said. I would have been dead If I was born then. I would have been dead Cause I would have believed them. They preach words from God. Yet with incorrect context. So in truth They preach words from the devil. People were deterred When their lies were revealed, And from their faults, Came true people, Yet the impression: Forever lasting For those who were forced to listen. So. Aiat love. Aiat understanding Of the texts that we use as "weapons." Yet we are not perfect enough to wield them. Aiat peace For people who do not think like us And have no choice but to. And aiat love For those we have wronged And those who have wronged us. Aiat love. Because love wins. |
