Scars tell stories
Stories of triumph,
Stories of losses.
They say so much,
Even though they lack a mouth.
Purposeful or accidental,
There's a story to tell.
The firey explosion of a tank,
Or an accidental hit with a toy,
Tell a story nonetheless.
Jagged or clean,
Faint or dark,
Risen up or dented down,
All have a
Story to Tell.
Surgical scars,
Ment to help the living.
Methodical scars,
Meant to harm
but not kill.
Self done,
Used as a means to escape.
What? You may ask,
Only the person could tell.
War scars tell
War stories
Stories of Triumph
And shame.
Gunshots, blades, burns,
All leave their marks.
Scars from play,
Are perhaps the most entertaining.
A fall in a playground,
A hit too hard with a plastic sword.
Leaves the owner laughing,
As they tell
The stories of their scars.
Scars tell stories,
So be careful when you ask.
Some scars hurt,
Long after they
Bled and Burned.
Some are ashamed
Of the marks on their bodies,
Others find pride in marred skin.
Scars tell stories,
So some prefer to hide.
Others want the scars to see light,
Because they wish for their stories to be known.
Scars tell stories,
So it's important to listen.
Scars have power over the owner,
And those around,
Some overcome the power,
Others still struggle against it.
But all the same,
Big or Small,
Shallow or Deep,
Scars tell Stories.
what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?
would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?
Nelson Mandela was in USA's terror watchlist until *2008. The guy who fought against apartheid state of South Africa, won a Nobel peace prize, became a president, a beloved character across the globe was in the terror watchlist of USA. So I wouldn't actually take murica's opinion about labeling a person or group of people as terrorists. Chances are they're actually fighting for the freedom of their country.
That's why they call Hamas terrorists instead of freedom fighters. In their eyes The Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.
Anyways as Nelson Mandela said
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🍉
The thing I don't understand is when I say free Palestine, so many people think that means I hate the Israeli people. That I don't care if they die.
I care about the Israeli people.
I care about the Israeli hostages that were shot down by their own military.
I care about all Israeli hostages in general.
I care about the Israeli men being thrown in jail because they refuse to assist in the "war" around them.
I care about the Israeli people who don't support the genocide happening infront of their very eyes.
Even the Israeli people who do, I don't wish death upon them, or whatever hateful thing you think I do.
When I say free Palestine, I don't mean I hate the Israeli people.
When I say free Palestine, I mean Free Palestine

O' Children of Watermelon Seeds,
tell me of your dreams
The one's where Father returns,
and Mother was always there
And Sister and Brother
can hold hands and dance
The ones where the buzzing of planes,
is nothing but a distant nightmare
O' Children of Olive Trees,
I know your blood runs deep
It gathers in the soil,
like Nature's finest oil
The trees care for you,
as you did for them
I wish I could be there for you,
as I know you'd be here for me
O' Children of the Red Sea,
I wish to listen to thee
But the phone is dead,
and the line is flattening
I wish not to hear your death's rattle,
but I know that if I don't,
we willl lose this Battle
O' Children of the East,
you're not the beast they say your are
You have the kindest hearts,
and the warmest smiles
When in reality,
It's the West that's vile
I know the people are not to blame
but those who supply and deny
This, and prior, Genocides
O' Leaders of the West
it's you who are the most Vile
You wish to sit in Denile
while blood is tainting the morale
Do you wish for more Oil?
Why else do you bomb their Soil?
O' Terrors of the Blue and White,
you are the very thing that killed your grandmothers and grandfathers
You Genocide and Terrorize,
like it's 1941
You monopolize on prior hate,
but Zionism isn't profitable
The world is watching,
and we'll laugh at your mistakes
All while holding up the children of
Watermelon Seeds and Olive Trees
Remember folks, the settler colony of Israel and its supporters just in the last two months ALONE:
Denied the use of white phosphorous on Palestinians in Gaza
Lied about the beheaded babies
Lied about the bombing of the Al-Ahly Hospital
Lied and lied and lied about the Al-Shifa Hospital (now conveniently forgotten, sparsely mentioned)
Bombed journalists and their families, medics, scholars, and UN workers under the pretext of belonging to Hamas
Lied about the 'safe corridors'
Lied about providing aid
Lied about the inhumane treatment of Palestinian detainees and prisoners
Lied about Rafah and Khan Younis being safe
Lied about the death of Palestinian baby, claiming it was a doll for propaganda.
They don't want us to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide not because there's not been an official ruling but because these things don't get set in people's minds via official ruling. Instead it is the oral history that sets an event into place in mass consciousness.
Us calling it what it is - a genocide - means they can't wriggle out of it in years to come. They can't continue to call it a conflict or a war if we cement it in public consciousness as a genocide.
So don't tone down your language. Call it what it is. Make sure the history books know what happened and the genocides that took place in Palestine, Sudan, Congo.
A reporter visiting a school in Israel.
" - What happens when you meet Arab kids? What do you feel?
- Angry. I feel I want to kill them."

"There will be Arabs but they will be slaves"
