advocate


I’m for the voiceless,
the anti-establishment
and the dead-end streets.
Lapsana apogonoides

I was made aware of the above photo (credit: jam343) by Frank Roche, whose talented colleagues at iFractal coupled the text of this haiku with the photo shown above. Click here to see that collaboration.

  1. An ambitious claim,
    to make the voiceless speech heard
    —it has become mute.

  2. hence there is a need
    for advocacy when the
    voiceless make their pleas.

  3. It’s not always the popular thing - but it is always the right thing.

    I love the line about dead-end streets. It makes me think.

  4. In my experience, it often feels like a deadend street. Sometimes the key is to learn to relish the opportunity to ram your head against a brick wall. I guess you have to be into that sort of thing…

  5. I am into some semi-kinky things, but ramming my head against a brick wall gets old quickly! :)
