Twisted Perceptions

A handwritten poem

Photo & poem by author

Cycles come and go
each time
renewed
retaining something old
yet new.

“Each revolution
hopefully brings us forward into
something BETTER” —
they say

but have you ever
realized that
“better”
is always defined
by the victors?

Lucy (The Eggcademic) [she/her] stopped chasing The Truth and started understanding the filters, biases, and frameworks that shape the diversity in how people understand in each other. Tell me about your perceptions and I’ll write you a poem.
