You don’t have the right To poison my life With your cruel words Your violent badass ways Or your cherished beliefs
You think you’re strong Because you can kill or maim Anything or anyone weaker than you Because you’re ‘clever’ with words And can destroy someone One piece at a time Without raising a hand
You think you’re better than others Because your fists are faster And you know how to kick someone when they’re down Someone smaller and weaker Or a defenceless animal
You think your Race, gender, colour, or religion Makes you better Or ‘righter’ Or more superior You are none of those things
You are anger driven by fear Because all negative emotion is driven by fear You are a blight on the world You are nothing Nothing that this world needs
Oh you can shock Kill Maim Destroy Abuse You can do all those fear based things You can leave the world a worse place Just to become A loathed footnote in history
But you will never outnumber the good Who don’t react to you because You’re not worth it We’re far too strong for that We come from something beyond love Something far stronger
You can break our hearts But you cannot take up space in our minds Or take over our actions We have too much real strength In the face of which
You are nothing
Deb Hawken May 2024 For all victims of violence, crime, and discrimination.
I'm a writer, public speaker, medium, and spiritual thinker. I suffered from acute anxiety from the age of 16 until I was well into my 50s, when I finally found methods that helped me to put it behind me. My struggles led to me exploring life through poetry, then plays, and over a 15 year period I made notes for a self help book which I published in 2015. Details on the book page. Although I am a psychic medium and loved the work, it didn’t feel right for me. It was an utter privilege, but my path was the exploration of what it means to be spirit in the real world and how we can make practical use of those abilities. Nowadays I write, blog, and teach soul-centred living, which is a gentle way of undoing past programming and connecting to your essential self, or soul. If you’re interested email me and we can chat. No pressure, it’s right for you or it’s not and you will know. The groups meet on line so no going out on cold, wet, winter’s evenings. On a personal note, I’m based in the UK. Married with five cats, no children, and four grandchildren, thanks to our inherited daughter, who has gifted us four beautiful little people that bring us such joy. Hope you enjoy the blogs. Deb xx
