Her ghostcolors bending thin
jaded sensibilities
oil in a puddle

Madeleine Begun KaneMy Dear Donald, insulting the Pope
Is an idiot’s move. You’re a dope!
Your attack, oh so caustic
E’en riles this agnostic…
Will it bolster your poll numbers? Nope!

Richard Manley-TannisThey yell
weaving innocent illusion
with distraction's shout
Yet listen we must
to silenced & agency denied
so without words we principally act

#MicroReflection
Within the social commons today, sharp language and constant argument and distraction are too often rewarded. Those holding power can use speech to intimidate, confuse, or overwhelm, turning dialogue into a tool that blocks fairness. When language becomes a weapon, justice is delayed and dignity eroded. Our response cannot rest in better phrasing alone. Integrity is shown through movement, presence, and shared risk. We affirm what matters by how we show up, protect others, and challenge harm through consistent behaviour. Change takes root when conviction becomes practice. Our responsibility is to move beyond noise and choose faithful response through collective, visible commitment.

“It’s too dark in this place,” said the gent.
“Did this restaurant NOT pay its rent?
Your damn, flickering light
On the menu’s a blight.
I give up. You have lamb? I’m lamb bent.”

In response to a lingering unease:
Love your butterflies — they don’t bite; they flutter and giggle, everything’s alright.
