Petite #BlackWoman #Lawyer wearing #Headscarf & skirt says she was #assaulted - 2 #Oshawa #cops didn't like her WORKING at the courthouse & didn't bother checking the docket or anything.

Looks like #racists feeling #emboldened here because of #DJT's #BS.

A near biblical tale, the twisted scripture spun down for the powerful. The emboldened shall inherit the earth. Though it isn't quite how the story goes. It is a story for the now. These hazy frames of a wound in time and space, where years stream backwards for those who were always stuck in reverse. Festive, so far, in their gauche glass bubbles— unable to hear the cracks spiderwebbing from the weight of the weary world. - M.A. Rivoire

Worst of the worst
Depraved brutes with badges
Emboldened by nefarious tyrants
Armed and let loose on our streets
To terrorize, kidnap, and kill

Have you ever had
An unwise instructor
Parents giving driving lessons
Can be one example
Clenching onto door handles
As they scream in fright
Nervously pushing against the dash
As the car plunges downhill backward
Turning and parking chaos
Until finally, a licence emboldened

#poetry #emoetry #emboldened

Demanding tribute, growing fat
With bloody oil laid upon our lap
Or golden medals stolen by a rat
Who has no conscience to tap

I wonder some on this new trap:
Are we now so emboldened that
We think it a viable strat to kidnap
World leaders at the drop of a hat?

You said that only I can open that for which there is no key dejected I lost hope and thought that it just could not be even I cannot unseal the thing that’s locked inside this chest You said let me put it to the test and smiled and brushed my hand and with that touch I felt the bars inside me bend just a notch and yet within your warm embrace I was unmoored On a path that leaves no trace you showed me a door and in your steady gaze I found a room that had no floor Then, emboldened by our laced hands I stepped through what I believed could never crack Lynn Peyo

Is there magic in your everyday life?
While oft I wake up with it, at night I must trace it back to where it can be found again.

offered candy to Mandy
then bandy-legged Sandy
got handy with Mandy
who was drinking brandy
but should have stuck with shandy
which #emboldened Mandy
to set her cap at Andy
a boring bland dandy
roll on the beach got sandy

now Mandy belly expandy

the lover's sit, tanned legs entwined
#emboldened, lessons learned
with loving care he strokes her hair

NO
it emboldens them and
makes them a little bit
braver and stronger

Greenland They came speaking loudly of ownership, of taking by weight and threat, certain the world would flinch. It didn’t. The ground stayed claimed, the people stayed still, and power found no purchase. Bullies mistake restraint for permission— but resistance, even calm, leaves them suddenly unsure, no longer emboldened, backing away from a line they cannot cross without witnesses.

Restraint is not surrender.
It is the line power hesitates to cross.

Two blue jays on a seed-covered rail. One crashes into scattered seed with wings spread; the other approaches cautiously from the right.

one faceplants
seed everywhere

other watches
the chaos
the noise
the risk

then does it anyway

embolden
is just a fancy word
for stepping forward
mid-flinch

I would like to say this is not me!!

repost - forgot to add the poem - silly twat!

Like a wall standing stout
Against the winds, knees refusing
To buckle with every step;

And truly each step gets easier up and up that hill carved by glaciers and scratched by stones.

#unmoored in the aftershock
our tethers severed
lost on memory lane
#emboldened by strangers
we are so many
wading through the #rot
smoke and broken mirrors
shackle and noose
loosed upon the masses
searching for purchase
on slick, steel barrels

I wish to be #emboldened—
become #unmoored,
instead of #rotting here,
#comfortably,
upon the shore

where I gaze out
at all the chances
I don't explore

a desire
to throw off
#weekly #demands,
get lost in #nature—

to be more
than a stoic fixture
in a lifestyle
I no longer
understand.

Emboldened by your
Encouraging words, each step,
Easier with time.

‪He walked in the room
a divine presence
not quite human at all
We looked in awe
and held our breath
then he began to speak
revealing the mysteries
in this world we live in
emboldening the way we live

We are
embattled
by those
we have
emboldened

Cast about the sky a’darkened
Tail without much dust #emboldened

Ice #unmoored forever
Bracing speed not weary
Drifting like a feather?
Never—rock to carry

Frozen but not frozen freeness
Never can be owned, your highness

Poem on a green-greyed phot of a rotting tree stump: EKPHRASIS OF THE SOUL, LOGGED In an uncatalogued place within where procedural existences fade and mycelia reabsorb the bygone, a chance chat relogging old memories crashed me into a postmortem reboot where emboldened hauntings recompiled. Shameful odors of rot twisted my heart: emotional tempests long since dead, scattered images of transient berths which bird-like I once called home. True decomposition takes decades, requiring deep surrender to softness and the will to fully crumble to become. By EchoGnomics

"Ekphrasis of the soul, logged."

#Emboldened A clear sign that, the most powerful among us believe they cannot be stopped & will NEVER be held accountable.
