NaPoWriMo 2018--Day 10
Belly Laugh

A laugh is better than a rant.
Saturday Night Live knows
that comedy often bests tyranny.
Lenny Bruce, Dick Gregory, George Carlin
knew the world might fall apart
from a dirty, funny word.
But I am an activist,
not a humorist.
I whistle in the dark
tilting at patriarchal dragons,
military installations.
The rot at our government's core
gnaws at my bones.
I follow a thread of deep discontent.
I can be broken with a touch

But in the silence
I hear the ring
of deep belly laughs
in the land.


Dark Goddess Tarot--BAUBO--Siren of Earth---a laugh is better than a rant.
