"whiteness feeds
itself
cannibalizing nations in
armies, as tourists
as social workers in
war zones they create"

"We are weapons of
war against ourselves"

Stars:

This poem made me tear up wow.

"A child stares
at the same stars
but theirs come
to meet them
phosphor filing
their lungs"

"If joy is
revolutionary
how much ecstasy
do i need
to free Palestine?"

"What is standing
if not abelist
jargon that pretends
that i'm doing
anything at all?
i stand
you die
until tomorrow
i die
you stand

"You drew a line
when you said
all lives matter
Black-on-Black crime
a few bad apples
as if the orchard
doesn't need
torching"

"The caucasity of cis-white zionist to believe they matter more than the world"

"We are the final test of a humanities that continues to fail"

I love this book already, it's heartbreaking and so important.
