Blessings Abound
Cowards of Campus
Cowards,
Take off your masks
To face those you hate
And accept the consequences
Of your venom.
No, of course you won’t.
This has never been your way,
Veiled behind lies and distortions
To broadcast vitriol and violence,
Like your brave mentors
Who hide in tunnels
Beneath your own innocent children.
Hiding, always
Hiding,
In the bowls of self-righteousness
And deceit.
Cowards.
Afraid of truth.
Afraid of integrity.
Afraid of your own faces.
Poet’s note: Since October 7, I’ve written nearly 50 poems about the shock attack, the war, and the hostages. Some can be found here, including “The Court of the Captives” and “Nothing Left but Tears.” Others can be found on Instagram at @aldensolovy and my blog at tobendlight.com.
