Counteracting the rage: a haiku

Carl Setzer2 Comments

Fear births rage 

So easily exploited

Instead, speak of hope 

Countering rage with rage isn’t creatuve, isn’t beautiful. We only become more divided, leaving more scorched earth, more broken. We must remember community has value, too. 

Love Is All You Need

Carl Setzer4 Comments

​Love is all you need
Against rampant cruelty
Bigotry destroys 

Cultural brutality destroys beauty. I found this video powerful, disturbing and thoughtful.  I present to you: “Love Is All You Need”, exploring sexuality, bullying, and the social pressure to conform.

Thoughts on womenhood 

Carl Setzer

Drifting through blogs 

Reading words 

Burning from hearts 

Women defined solely

By shape, size, skin….

Always found wanting 

“Ugliness” a weapon 

Sharper than steel 

Wounds so deep

Blood flows into the soul 

Drowning from within 

Resisting Hate’s Demands

I Am Caine

Carl Setzer2 Comments

I am Caine
Acursed by God
And yet protected
Strangely blended
Mix of rage with
Hope. Enthusiasm
Tainted by jealousy
Perhaps in this, long
Life denied my
Brother, I may find
Redemption
