An Element Of Deception
The imbalance of freedom
Why must we pay for your sins and contracts made so long ago?
Why should you live a better life than me?
Why should you generally typecast me, when I am only an individual?
Why should I pay for everyone else, when I live in poverty?
Why should you feel superior, when we all came through the same door?
Why should I feel sorry for you, when you leave by that door?
Why should I believe your words, when you have tainted them with lies?
Why should I have children, when you seek to destroy them?
Why should I give away divine secrets, when all you will do is pervert them?
An element of deception exists no doubt, when I think you have known all along!

The Piggy Project
I’ve had so many names in this life I lose track of which ones were ever really mine and which ones I wore because someone needed me to. Some were handed to me before I had words to refuse them, before I knew what they meant, before I knew I could say no. Most weren’t meant to hurt. That doesn’t mean they didn’t leave marks. Marks that told me who I belong to, who I am by way of who claims me, recognizes me in the good and bad, who walks beside me.
