Challenge of the Week CXVI
The Most Useless Thing. Most things have a use, to someone or something. Does everything have some use, somewhere? Or are some things just useless? Write about the most useless thing you can think of. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
We Are the Same - Useless Intolerance
I am you in my body
can’t you see?
sound the pensive trumpet
unchain prison of your mind
take a stand for humanity
I am you in my body
a single tear from a waxen candle
straightening the rhymes of imbalance
a reality nailing fools to trees
awakening human soul to acceptance
I am you in my body
rescuing sun in drowning sea
spreading wings of tolerance
smiting falsehoods strung
in twisted breaths of hate
I am you in my body
reinforce my head with glue
pile fairness in piles of bricks
acceptance warms barren echoes,
pitches out useless privilege
I am you in my body
lean closely to me to see
open heart in sweeping tides
let our voices be heard
eagles soar – we are the same.
