Wordcages
Escaped words go where?
Wordcages are the boxes our words get trapped in, when
Sometimes we aren't allowed to finish our sentences.
Sometimes our thought gets trampled over by another's words,
Someone more important (they think)
Usually, someone with testicles.
So our words go into a word cage
So they can't escape and change the world.

Good Riddance
This began with a message from home. My brother and I have been sending each other messages on WhatsApp for some time now. Often, we talk about family, friends, politics, and just about anything that comes our way that we think needs a chat. The other day, my brother sent me a link to an article with the title: “Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner removed from Rock Hall leadership after controversial comments”.

"Usually, someone with testicles." You just made me laugh out loud. Great work.
