All of this is worth saving…all of us are worth saving. 💕 … Nothing slows down progress quite like the Angry Concerned Citizen. Under the guise of activism they picket rage miscommunicate demands create the chaos the system requires to convince us we need it. The Focused Thinking Citizen, the one who not only protests but the one who listens. The one who not only gets offended but the one who really feels. The one who looks at all sides knowing it sometimes means overlooking their own. The one who waits decades after death to be acknowledged knowing it is our way to reject our history before we learn from it. We need them more than ever. Most importantly, we need to convince them of that.

Natasha Head … … To our thinkers, our seers, our poets and peace keepers, may the world one day know your worth… … Thank you for saving me 💚✌🏻💕 (bonus props to the kinky kush ☺️) … … … #poetry #poetrycommunity #writers #wordporn #cannabiscreative #cannabiscommunity #bekind #befair #bethoughtful

A waif leans against the door way Thin and pale A cruel June sky cries above her A cell phone rocks precariously between her shoulder and chin While a cigarette smoulders between slender fingers I drive by too fast for a small town street But in that moment I remember How that smoke smells different in the rain

I miss road trips And secret places Sunsets, shorelines.

I miss the comfortable silence You find On a highway numbered 11 In the deep, dark woods Of a Northern Ontario winter

Most of all I miss you Plain and simple

Nothing hurts Quite like that

There are two people who come to the table with me every morning.

The little girl, never certain of her worth, ashamed for the space she takes up in the universe (though she can never quite give a reason)

And the woman, who fights every day to make sure you never feel that way. The one who sees how hard you try…how hard you hope.

Considering they live within me, my only hope, is one of these mornings, we can have a meeting of the minds. There are never really any winners in the war that’s waged within.

Black Sheep Resists Surrender

We are bred to be assimilated.

Trained from birth to make use

of ten percent of our brain.

We are bred to chase the dollar

to the point that some

will take from another.

We are bred to own.

To seek contractual castles

that permit us to hoard the sky.

Our herds are growing in number

yet our shepherds are content

to place the strain upon our backs.

We are bred to spend.

Supporting secret tribes

that only covet power.

We are bred to birth

Quality bloodlines

stamped with a government seal of approval.

We are bred to kill

For the heard is only as strong as its weakest

and we must march despite the pain.

Our heard has found its injured

still the shepherds demand we march

rather than simply putting us out of our misery.

We are bred to march

To stay strong

To complete the food chain

We are bred as sustenance

So that the ruling class

May not know suffering.

I was born to know suffering

I was born to overcome

I was born to stop the march

Heal the wounded

Help those in need

and steer them clear from the slaughter.

It’s a lazy #wakeandbakedaily with a little #kinkykush from #canntrust and full-on comfy clothes...its claims of 27% thc should deliver a solid punch...but I’m learning even #legalweed needs to earn that bragging right...the numbers on the stickers don’t seem to follow through...this one was packaged in July...(in spite of shortages and recalls) so yeah...wish me luck 😆✌🏻💚 ... ... ... ... #wakeandbake #cannabiscommunity #cannabiscreative #fueledbythc #indica #kush #pjday #canadiancannabis #stoned #420life #weedart #happytokestribe #happydays https://www.instagram.com/p/BsvaCeoheMq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dsu7m0r7cg5t

When one does not sleep...one often thinks of places they’d rather be. I heard rumours of an early birthday celebration and since I can’t be there in body...I send you my spirit.
