Our Society Needs Healing.

How do we do that? (A kind of prescription, a sort of poem.)

Learn.

Deconstruct to reconstruct.

Unpick. Study.

Devalue. Divest. Divert.

Remake. Rebuild.

Small steps.

One brick at a time.

Question why.

Is this brick still sound?

Can it be reused?

Can it be part of our new construct?

Don't use damaged and disintegrating bricks.

Don't discard those still whole and sturdy.

Do not be unseeing or unthinking.

Contemplation needs dissection.

New growth should build with lessons learned

Rather than mistakes repeated.

Society needs to be pulled apart.

It's component parts looked at closely.

Under a microscope.

What IS needs to be acknowledged.

The reasons need to be unearthed.

Denial gets us nowhere.

Halted and frozen.
