Blizzard

 

I’m a snowflake mate

if you like

unique

beautiful crystal

joining others

in a blizzard

that will white out

your false politics

stop your momentum

as we drift

into insurmountable

impassable glaciers

and in an avalanche

of hope

bury you forever

 

I’m a snowflake mate

whether you like it or not

one

a few

many

interlocking

and you are a

snowblind

frozen

iceberg

adrift on an ocean

alone

snowballs

I have to say that I enjoy the analogy. There's this great implication that all snowflakes are unique yet form into effective union without scheme.

Snowflakes are awesome. Hilarious the meaning attributed to it now.
