Not poetry but a short story about why I believe poetry matters not merely as a vehicle for political agitation but as a celebration of life... kevinpatrickmccann.substack.com/p/remember-me

I note nobody comments on any of my anti-Trump posts - why's that?

Just to be clear Trump has said the USA will now run Venezuela & US Oil companies "build the economy". Starmer's response is gutless, the BBC are peddling Yankee propaganda....meanwhile Amerika continues to build its empire yet we're told to be afraid of Russia...

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.

A Message From Peltier Poetry-Politics-People-Activism-Rambling

A Message From Peltier
open.substack.com/pub/jackvarn...

You can’t tether poetry
To some rigid scheme,
Put words in her mouth,
Pre-order her dreams
Because
Every real poem
Grows
Out of some
Personal struggle:
You might as well
Try teaching
A cat how to juggle.

I'm cancelling your feed - you're idiots !
