A Poem
By Shameelah Khan
The new school
of thinking
houses
in it
the personal is political
repeat
the personal is political
Can this be affirmed, confirmed, reformed (‘RE”)
over time please?
Real love
Let that sink in: R E A L L O V E
ideological- spaces- of- race- construction- in- between
Trauma and recovery could be inter-generational
How do we begin to digest and inherit loss?
What about you?
Where do you hold your loss?
Please note: the above is in italics:
un-thank- you
The womYn create intersectionality
CONVERSATION STARTER: WE CAN END VIOLENCE
NB: underline things that are important.
Bell Hooks Once Said:
Our childhood is formulated through childhood scripts:
is this childhood scripture?
this line is quite long in comparison. But you must read. READ. hashtag: BECAUSE I HAVE READ.
We must-or-you-maybe-just-me-or both-of-us
We must write the story of how we wish things to be
Sylvia Plath was also falling apart
Bell Hooks said: This above all else, refuse to be a victim
Repeat refuse to be a V I C T I M
VIC-TIM
The Bell Hooks Institution
