i do not think violence quells violence, or hate quells hate, or fire quells fire, or negativity negativity, nor does stating the negative necessarily mean defeat, hopelessness, submission or surrender. it's often just a cry, or a shout, like i can't breathe means i want to live and be free. i do feel love feeds love and if allowed will make its way through the grim reality.

i did have the thought that it's like graffiti, like fuck trump, or fuck the police, when i write about the negative shit going down in this brutal society. if i say it's a brutal society does that make it more so? no, it's just describing and accepting that that's what it is, and also i thought maybe like when they put gargoyles up to ward off evil, it may not really ward off anything, but says evil exists but please don't let it come in here. anger is inevitable. dark 

feelings may be expressed in a dark foreboding time.
