dis·il·lu·sion·ment
/ˌdisəˈlo͞oZHənmənt/
noun
a feeling of disappointment resulting from the discovery that something is not as good as one believed it to be.
I am a hockey fan
tonight,
my hockey team comes back
to regular season
and I am feeling…
somewhat sick
to my
stomach
having recently read so much about
the toxic
misogynistic energies that still surround
the
culture
for the most part, undeterred, underneath
unpunished and
un-
changed
news cycles filled with money, power
and over inflated egos
using and abusing
because they can
and those who vie for attachment
despite all continued efforts to distract
from
exposure
when someone shows you who they are
when group mentality shows you
who they are
there are no excuses
these are not small boys
and these are certainly not honourable men
if violence and bravado
and the false cloak of glory
is all that cradles your fragile male ego
you have draped yourself
in
fools gold
you do not shine bright
by diminishing the light of someone else
I am a hockey fan,
but I am finding it really hard
to consider looking at it
the
same.

Outside my door
this morning,
foot prints up the front walk
came… and
went
without taking the stairs
but
leaving signs of love
in this fast paced world of
disillusionment
take care of your hearts my friends,
and do try to stay
human ♥
