Abstraction Traction

---

so you go for
abstract,
present it as fact—

why?—

is the plan to
distract, while

behind the scenes,

you pact to act—
but your narrative
lacked—

and honestly,
i find your abstraction
devoid of satisfaction

hear me, this is no
detraction—
it is not merely a

reaction—

rather, it gains
traction because
truth in

action

outlasts any faction.

now, please,
don’t you react
because I presented

a fact,

not just some fear,

and in that word
lies the will to act,

for knowledge
empowers
and nurtures
courageous flowers

no matter how high
power is stacked.
