Welcome to Litsy!

Just finished this poetry collection while lying in bed, as I have been for most of the day. (only 855 steps so far and it's 5:00 pm) It's angry and eloquent and fantastic. 🔥🔥🔥 Remi Kanazi absolutely should not Tone It Down like people tell him to. Topics include Palestine and Black Lives Matter, it gets pretty heavy. Book 19/12 for #BookFitnessChallenge, will post a proper review when I'm feeling better. #BFC @wanderinglynn #Haymarket

you are either
with oppression
or against it
I didn't write history
and didn't choose for you
to stand on the wrong side of it

your system of injustice
is coming to an end
and whether you
recognize it or not yet
it will be liberating
for you too

Injustice, violence, war are the main themes. It's a very moving read, violence and anger are very present. I've read a little about the israelo-palestinian conflict, but this book made me want to read more about it. Any recommendations???

today I'm recommending Before The Next Bomb Drops, a phenomenon poetry collection looking at a variety of issues from the occupation of Palestine, police brutally, racism in American, Islamophobia, & a range of other issues
