“I always tell my kids if you lay down, people will step over you. But if you keep scrambling, if you keep going, someone will always, always give you a hand. Always. But you gotta keep dancing, you gotta keep your feet moving.”

Karmic Line
Where’s the fire I felt sear?
The surge propelling beyond the karmic line?
A voltage etching indelible ink in the space
I succour the corridors of my mind with liquid ether –
The Squid pulsates as the old lemon throbs to life:
The dash-clock digits blinks this new dispense:
We no longer Lacerate Vain veins
A new Vine grows. From the ashes, it bases unnecessity-
And grows again, a-new, un-regretting-
A shoot that will never disappoint.

Of Femicide, Feminists & John 8
Tumblr media
The 'verse of the day' in Kenya today came from a party acquitted in a homicide case. In a way, it brought to mind the recent wave of 'femicide' that has rocked the nation. For some reason, it reminded of the seeding of the feminist movement in Kenya in the late 2010s. Observably, the advent of it was as violent as testing a gun on live subjects. Understandable (as a realization), but in this view, not entirely plausible. That is, the message may have landed but the fire of militancy consumed the carriers themselves too - not so?
Given, feminism is a noble cause checking on the excesses of the patriarchy. In fact one purpose of the ideology is to stem the proli-fragancy of 'femicide'. The killing of a woman by the virtualness of her gender is an obscenity that robs the agency of her being.
One frustration of the feminist movement was that a woman was only valued by 'proximity to a man'. A flawed premise it is, but an onslaught of 'cancellation', public crucifixions, insults only exacerbated resistance. Naturally. The horses of militancy are seen as a conquest war-cry.
A power game preceding subjugation.
In my view one way femicide can be thawed is by compassion. Compassion does not act from a point of threat. It does not need a doctrine, power-theories or intersections. It is only an act of being: posturing other's humanity above yours even when they don't deserve it.
Centering your humanity creates clicks and cultism that eventually crumble. Naturally.
Only compassion can alter the perennial polarization that always come up; and every-one goes back their way the same. If a brother only humanizes a woman when they're related, start teaching from there.
Tumblr media
Like Christ and the adultering woman (John 8:1-11), compassion does not champion for condemnation.
Endnotes:
The unpopular truth is that compassion is a course of suffering because It is the way of the Cross. It is walking in another's shoes. It is the teaching of Christ. It is the [only] way to true redemption.
“If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
The verse Maribe gave out straddles the adulterous woman Jesus saved from stoning -- BUT the context precedes one of his most scathing condemnation "you belong to the devil, your father...a murderer from the beginning..."

Plead my Cause
Tumblr media
And the Mountain looks back;
No, not you (again?); me -- Yes
For my Help comes from Our Creator;
Who carved out the Craters in you-
And the Void in my Heart (as Well) of Which I pray:
That He may Richly Dwell
And I, in the Gates of His Grace- All in Awe of His name.
All the Days of My Life- for there's no God besides YHWH.
My prayer now, thus pleads as the Psalmist:
Plead my Cause and Redeem me from the Path of Pain;
Revive me according to your Word.
Amen.
