Amazed!
Front of the pack an isle to call its own
this worded horror of a trauma’s, trigger.
Dumbfounded!
How can such a product name be supported
allowed to haunt society’s, most vulnerable.
Tradition? Interpretation?
What point is there
if all they do
is perpetuate, suffering!
I can’t help but imagine, how debilitating
coming across such a crass use
of that morbid word, must be
for her
just trying
to move-on and gather-up
her shattered heart and pride
and reforge
some, semblance of a life
but she
was always a brave one
eventually
found a way to survive
and
in her own way: even thrive!
People, rarely consider
full extent
of such comprehensive
trauma
a lifetime
of booking, her counselling
sessions
to align
with her, physical therapy
appointments
see
this brave, magnificent: friend
of mine
damaged herself, real - real bad
trying
to fight-off: ill-fate’s
barbarically brutal, bestiality!
Twisted herself, down
to her spine, under
that horror’s, vile weight
of crimson sky, nightmare
she fought
so hard: to prevent.
And how, does society
show our consideration
for her, plight
and hundreds of thousands
just like her
or him, or other?
We tolerate
that wording of their, ordeal
as branding
for our, cooking oil…
Just because of our self-indulgent, obliviousness
unwilling, to name it Canola oil
and demonstrate, a little
Humane: empathy, in our societal consciousness.
An oil-spill
of worded, consequence
triggering those
already, scarred for life
forcing them, to once more
relive
that morbid assault on their
right
to feel safe in their own skin!
An absurdity of arrogance
as our obstinate negligence
where our collective, indifference
makes victims
of our society’s: most, Brave.
Trapped, in this warped world
where, ignorance’s
callous inconsideration, is prevalent
and empathy’s
kind gestures are deemed, irrelevant!
When, will we learn
a little kindness
is all it takes
to make, A
difference

A very expressive writing Mek .. and no it is never their fault but I know that trauma victims can sometimes blame themselves . It’s awful to have to go through trauma . I havnt bern through that type of trauma ., but I have dissociation because of a lot of trauma in my life
We all deserve to overcome our traumas and our pains .. because we are worthy
Amen!
and may you never be faced with such trauma, dear poet
thank you!
We assume many things about a person based on what they write. About their life, mannerisms; many things in general even if we don't realize it. It takes certain people to plead with this cause in order for it to receive proper exposure, and I agree with everything you've said. If only people could learn that a little kindness is all it takes. Most people are in the business of attempting to win, and wise people know from the mistakes of those fools that winning that way is no better than losing. Kindness isn't always the answer, but it is always a part of the process. Thank you for the post, L.B. And thank you for saying what some men don't have the gall or the motivation to.
'Kindness isn't always the answer, but
it is always, a part of the process.'
wow!
I read and learn, dear wise Poet
thank you
I spend a great deal of time working with victims .. less so with perpetrators these days but still do occasionally .. and I must say, I seriously applaud the words you left for us to consider here today Mek .. much respect .. Neville
yeah Hyung
with your chosen, profession
and empathetically humane, nature
your level of exposure
must be such a burden, that's why
I genuinely respect
individuals like you, who can offer
professional help
and still protect themselves, because
the horrors, we encounter
have a tendency to linger within us
and poison our appreciation
of those smaller, mercies and gifts
afforded to us
in our own lives...
Wow, I was actually unaware of that name. I've always heard and seen it as "Canola oil." But seeing this really makes me wonder how f'd up the world really is. All victims of such inhumaneness are truly warriors.
truly ludicrous...!
like you say, it just illustrates
'how f'd up the world really is'..
thank you, dear Poet
and yes, they truly are
'Warrior's: All'
Very thought provoking and meaningful poem. I agree with your words entirely. Thank you for this post.
thank you! dear Poet
Indeed. Just a little bit of kindness. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for supporting the message, dear poet
Spot on, if you don't like what someone's wearing, look away, don't take it upon yourself to assault the person. It's the same with men who try to change women to their warped morals. Sadly, we still live in a country where women are fair game for the controlling factions out there.
'yeah, its an immoral obscenity
with little sign of dissipating
from our civilised, world..
still, generation after generation
with whatever, we have
we must: fight
and believe, someday
this too
'Goodness'
will triumph, over!'
Thank you, dear Poet
