Let the Evil Be Revealed

Let the evil be revealed.

Let its name be shouted from high places.

Let it be whispered in the lowest, darkest corner.

Let the evil be revealed.

Let the poison be routed.

Let the rot be exposed.

Let all see the truth for what it really is:

That the oppressors have always raped and stolen and laughed.

That the oppressor’s garments

Are made from the tattered skins of their victims.

That the oppressor’s homes

Are built from the bones of the dead.

Let the evil be revealed.

Let its name be shouted from high places.

Let it be whispered in the lowest, darkest corner.

Let the evil be revealed.

Let the poison be routed.

Let the rot be exposed.

Let all see the truth for what it really is:

That the oppressors have always raped and stolen and laughed.

That the oppressor’s plates

Are filled with food snatched from the bellies of the poor.

That the oppressor’s music

Is the crying of children ripped from their parent’s arms.

Let the evil be revealed.

Let its name be shouted from high places.

Let it be whispered in the lowest, darkest corner.

Let the evil be revealed.

And may the names of evil be always cursed with justice.

May the hallways walked by evil tremble now in fear.

We hex you. We hex you. We hex you.

Let. Us. Live.

(Let us love.

Let us reveal the shining hope in every aching heart.

Let us build this world anew.)

This is a companion to the curse I wrote in July. Further explanation for the triangle and heart are there. Triangle of justice, heart breaking with compassion.
