tolerate abuse
at home,
be a rebel.
suffer in silence
elsewhere,
be an illegal.
fleeing gunshots,
jumping walls,
survive with no identity.
impish choices grin!
Above poem is written for Day 2 of Barathon hosted by Blog-A-Rhythm inspired by the prompt “Lesser of two evils”.

Sad but this is quite a reflection of today’s world. It’s not just one country’s story. It’s as dark & ugly everywhere.
I love the power your lines contain.

Is this going to be a new normal for most of us in future? Sad and grim.
Hard hitting words and pithy expression.

This where we are headed and all of our own making. Very soon it will be forced down every throat.

The irony of life when abuse is condoned that makes for sad personal choices. Apt reflections.

I like the stark contrasts in the choices presented and the dash of irony at the end. Good one.

Chilling yet true reflection of the political climate. How I wish it weren’t true and not something people had to face in this day and age 😦
