PUNK POETRY: I have a dream by Katarina Pavičić-Ivelja


I have a dream: Ban abortion in Croatia

by: Vice Batarelo, April 7, 2024.

 

Where is the public discussion now about the shameful industrial massacre of unborn children in Croatia called abortion? One extremist left-wing party says that they will insert this "right" into the Croatian Constitution, while other politicians and society...remain silent.

Or maybe we don't want to talk about it now because it's "inconvenient". We don't want "confrontation". We want to be "nice" people.

Or maybe some think it is "prudent", we will not talk about it now or write it in our programs, "BUT when we come to power, then we will act". What a platitude. Not good enough, we expect much more. When are we going to talk about it if not now!?!

And as voters, citizens, Catholics and people of good will, we must tell them this, and not play their games.

I hardly believe politicians when they say something, I believe a little when they write, but when they don't say anything and don't write anything official about it, then we can't hold them for absolutely nothing.

It's not like all of us Catholics have entered some kind of "ideological moratorium". Isn't it true that we are silenced by unworthy politicians and corrupt media?

Read my lips:

Neither corruption, nor theft, nor a bad demographic situation, nor anything that stands out as bad in Croatia – 

It WON'T be fixed until we FINALLY go to the cause of our problems, which is the public and

"legal" murder of unborn Croats. We must ban this mass killing of unborn children in  Croatia.

It is the moral foundation of everything.

If we can't protect the unborn, how can we protect anyone? If we cannot protect and nurture life, how can we grow as a society and a country. How can we become creative and strong, when we have a black mark on the conscience of this nation? After 33 years, the communists' law to kill the unborn is still in force.

Ask openly and publicly the politicians you are thinking of voting for how they view abortion, what their plan and strategy is to ban killing, and let their answer be your guide. You, we, as the people and voters decide, not them.

You're need to vote for them, they need you, they're in your service, you don't need them back.

Nothing neck and neck to the ban deserves our whole attention. A lot more mudslinging, avoiding the topic and labile statements such as "we have to sensitize people".

EDITOR'S NOTE: Something Old, Something New (aka WE'RE OPEN FOR REVIEW REQUESTS)

Hey, pals!  Due to an incredible influx of acceptances (we're stacked for pubs until AUGUST), we had to temporarily shut our doors.  I am delighted to announce we are again  OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS !  We've updated our guidelines; please read thoroughly before sending your awesome words/art/whatever.  AND!!!!  I am VERY excited to announce a new branch of the magazine!  For the first time, Punk Monk is open to review requests!  We will be reviewing books, collections, novellas, chapbooks, and microchaps. (Fiction, poetry, non-fiction, art, hybrid, ANYTHING accepted.) Our aim is to publish 1-4 reviews a month.   All reviews will be written by me, C.E. Hoffman .  This has been a long time coming, inspired by my personal frustrations seeking cool alt lit spaces that accept ARCs for review.  Many mags accept pre-written reviews, but won't review works in-house. This creates an unfortunate barrier for authors trying to promote their work....

If I Had A Son, I Would Teach Him About Evolution

I bled through the crotch of my pants and the Wonder Woman underwear I bought two and a half years ago on sale at Target while eating chocolate chip cookies in my bed. I put my hand between my thighs to wipe away the blood and realized, that God had once again decided to not put the embryo of Jesus Junior in my womb, leaving me free to continue reading blog posts tagged atheism. --Em Ramser

PUNK PROSE: Flick the Clipper, Write for Ten, Eat Some Doritos, Fall Asleep and Dream of a Nicer Time by Lacey Cohen

  i like to say i’m not a poet and i still don’t think i am but it’s not because i don’t like poetry (which i still mostly don’t) but more likely because i’m afraid my words won’t be as good as they are when i write other things because when you write poetry every single word matters but when you write a story or a letter you’re able to think softer and hide behind a scene or a fake character that you say isn’t yourself but usually it is and you think the reader doesn’t know that so it’s less scary than writing ambiguous poetry i get some of my best ideas when i’m high and i can never write when i’m high because i can’t articulate the idea as well when i’m high but i know it’s still going to be one of my best because i’m high and, sidenote, i hate that people use the word ‘high’ in reference to all drugs because when i say i’m high i only ever mean pot but when i read certain stories there are characters who are also high but they did hard, scary, addictive drugs that i would neve...
