Duterte, Trump, May, Putin…
feels like the bullies
are winning the day
they put out
dirty plays
get away with it all
the rhetoric says
counter hate with love
but I’m not sure it’s working,
guys?
the best advice: just believe in yourself!
but aren’t these leaders
the epitome of that?
if the meek shall inherit the earth
when will that be
I’m busy Tuesday… but otherwise
I’m free?

About the ‘counter hate with love’ thing. I saw something beautiful that someone else said about it. I now can’t find it and I’m not going to explain it as well as they did, but I’m going to try.
What they said was something about how love doesn’t have to mean silence and acceptance, that love can be strong and powerful. It made me hate the statement less because standing up and speaking out can be a form of love. Protecting people is love. Refusing to sit quietly and watch is love.
It’s true that love doesn’t have to be passive. I need to think more on that. Thanks x
All we need is love, right? But believing in God will do a lot more for me than believing in myself
