Thinking of Writing

Writing is thinking...

Got a job; don't pay fair wages...
At least you got a job!
Got an M.A. but can't live off teacher's pay...
Shoulda thought ahead!
My body is treated as property; I've been voilated...
​Shouldn't worn that skirt!
My boyfriend hit me for speaking...
Should have seen the signs!
My aunt was not rich enough to afford her cancer...
Death comes for us all!
My child is autistic; it can be so tough...
At least he's alive!
Can't afford the meds that clear my head...
Should take a good, long hike!
I work so hard, yet I'm always passed up...
​You have to do your time!
My house caught fire, along with all my things...
At least you weren't..

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
​
Listening is not the same as hearing;
being present is not the same as "being there;"
opining is not the same as being correct, 
and social icon is not the same as friend.

I will not be socialized into complacency
with the tools of the powerful and the noodle-will of the weak.
