June 27 -War is a Defeat
Maggie Devers
After Audre Lorde
When you realize the fake news is the whole system we’re stitched up in like a Met Gala dress
Or a straight jacket,
You pick.
Who gave the bombs,
Those party favors for regional stability,
For a war we believe is not here?
We would never be as barbaric as those others half a world away.
Active shooter drills are a sign of a healthy society that values children,
That values life,
That wants every person, everywhere to be free.
The mirror shows us what we can’t bear to see so we break it.
And tell them to make it again,
And get it right for once, for Christ’s sake.
This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit rembrandtscure.substack.com
Submissions are open. If you have a poem you want me to read on the podcast, now’s the time.
I’m looking for the one that lights you up. The one you’re proud of. The one you can’t read without crying. The one that makes you feel something big.
Let’s make space for the one this Fall on One Poem Only.
Deadline is Thursday, July 31.
