Thank you Omy for speaking out. It's times like this that inform someone of who their true friends are. I've had irl friends shun me because they're tired of hearing about Gaza. Others mute my feed. Some say they don't like to get involved in "politics".

Ultimately, each of us has to live with ourselves. Those who are true poets, who are used to feeling the world around them in all its textures, without inhibition, there is no alternative but talk about what we feel.
