On our backs, there's this monkey
who whispers
"not your circus"
Until we become this vestigial organ
Walking, wounded
by apathy and corruption
You are hope
Be brave
Refuse to be laid low
by the pounding shores of selfishness
Decline to be ground down
by the gears of the miserly machine
remake the world in your own image
The godspark is in you-
Give, and remember
move earth, and heaven will follow.
This poem was created for @geke's contest, promoting @youarehope- A Steem funded charity that is doing great things for people in 3 different countries. So far they are providing "meals to children in the Philippines, Food, Clothing and Shoes to disadvantaged people in Venezuela and school supplies and backpacks to some very grateful children at an impoverished village school in Nigeria" (Source). The blockchain has some excellent opportunities to make spending more transparent in a lot of sectors. So far, my favorite sector to improve transparency in is charity. How many more people could be helped with the minimal overhead that Steemit provides? I am so excited that the community is providing relief in such a direct and effective way.
Another great blog you should check out is @marty-arts! Here's her original post. She does some beautiful art using many different mediums- this particular image is a lino-cut. The technique for this is really cool- it's a print made by cutting into a sheet of linoleum and stamped with ink. She also does some amazing realistic images of animals in watercolor. Thank you for letting me feature your art, Marty!
