Renee the Good
has joined the ghosts
iced for thr crime of a conscience

floating above the ground that she stood
beyond reach of the killers' sad little boasts
and the sleeptalkers' cowardly nonsense.

You can make a movie against violence.
But if it makes money for those who create violence,
What has it done?

You can create a tv show about the terror of abuse.
But if it makes money for abusers to hide behind,
What has it done?

You can make a song to say "Protect the Dolls."
But if it makes money for those who turn the dolls away,
What has it done?

You can make a painting to give voice to the unseen.
But if it makes money for those who refuse to see,
What has it done?

You can make a poem to call it all out.
But if it makes money for the same system,
What has it done?

A poem for those who refuse to look away.
May we continue to look, speak, and feel deeply. Compassion is resistance.

against a photo of a protester waving a US flag mounted upside down a pole, a poem called Below Ground reads

Below Ground

as its army of hatred
scorch-earths the nation
fueled by #spiritual
deformity and a supremacy ideal
this revival is revealing
their new Jesus was never entombed
but instead managed to
claw his way from the dirt
of The Pet Cemetery
where white christian nationalism
so cleverly buried
him

I will continue.
I will continue to be the beacon in the dark,
The mirror that reflects your ugliness.
I will continue to be unapologetically me,
To the detriment of your warped ideology.
I will continue to fight, to rally
Against you.
I will continue.

A poem by Debbie Ross. Copyrighted.

Protection Racket
They wrapped you in cotton wool for your own protection home-care prescribed nothing more to do.
They blindfolded your reality for your own protection - information can be dangerous in the wrong minds.
They draped a gown of ignorance around you -
for your own protection withhoding truth
they lied your future in a breath.
Making preparations, not invoving you for your own good.
And for your own good, in kindy protection, you transferred to eternity still wondering why they coudnt face reality.

A sort of #protestpoem today for my Sunday poetry soapbox.

Iโ€™m wrangling something else but itโ€™s a long way off ready!

A poem by Debbie Ross copyrighted

Armchair Activist
I'm an armchair activist
I switch channels when the other parties politically broadcast, shake my head
at the ten o'clock news.
I'm an armchair activist
I mark the documentaries
In the TV Times
Then laugh on cue
With re-runs of 'Qi' Or 'Have I got News.!
I'm an armchair activist eagerly involved in TV debate
I ignore the politician at the door, and in fairness,
the man from Christian Aid.
I'm an armchair activist firmly entrenched in velour-views, action amounting to no more than two fingers up at a thirty inch screen

Good morning. Still on my solo spot for a Sunday protest poem. All a bit tongue in cheek so far, but weโ€™ll see where it goes. This is a very old one, so the cultural references were very dating. I changed one of them. It was placed in a competition oh so long agoโ€ฆ

Remember, Remember
The 6th of December
14 young engineers shot
Remember, Remember
How Buffalo Woman ended
In a waste yard plot
Remember, Remember
A Yonge St. stroll
Turned into a murderous walk
I know of no reason
These horrible
FEMICIDES
should be forgot
