MR Exclusive – Where is Your Disbelief?

Posted on by

 

where is your disbelief?

suppose you were to know,
all those lies you’ve been told.
then maybe this shock,
this latest disaster,
might break
your
dis
belief.

 

i came across an editorial photo capturing a woman, hand to cheek, eyes venetian, at the scene of some unfortunate event. she was unable to believe that the horror before her was real. but her eyes partially covered ensured that her eyes were witness to the events unfolding.

i then thought of all the truth and reality we experience on a daily basis and the lack of disbelief at what is happening in front of us. i wanted to know where the anger, frustration, shock and sense of justice was in my fellow americans.

i’m still looking for that disbelief, that critical thinking combined with the collective consciousness to bring us beyond the current paradigm of exploitation, division and atomization.

  1. I was wearing your shirt with this design and a friend asked me what it meant. Luckily, to me it meant exactly what you described…how are some unmoved by injustices we see and hear? Thanks for this important reminder.
