The Bleeding Potato — A Metaphor of Silent Rebellion
A potato doesn’t speak.
It boils.
It’s mashed, fried, roasted, shredded—
Always present on the table,
but never at the center.
And yet today,
this potato bled.
The red that streaks its skin isn’t ketchup.
It’s not a joke.
It is memory.
It is resistance from the earth,
the silent rebellion of the overlooked.
To some, it’s just a vegetable.
But the blood—
that’s metaphor.
That’s the forewarning of endurance stretched too thin.
The outcry of lives rooted deep underground,
who have been stepped on, peeled, and cooked without being seen.
How many ‘bleeding potatoes’ have we passed by without noticing?
A silent gaze.
A clenched jaw.
The invisible laborers.
The unheard friends.
The ignored.
They’ve been simmering in silence
while we basked in warmth.
This potato whispers,
"I was never patient.
I just never spoke."
