A Poem a Day: a Series – Day 129

Day 129: “For the People”


Resistance is not about the people in power

It’s about the rest of us

Banding together

Finding common ground

Love

Empathy

Positivity

Joy


You don’t get to say, “I’m not political”

Because to exist as a woman, person of color, member of the LGBTQ+ community, someone who is non-binary

Is political

Not by choice

It just is


So let’s join the walk

Not to make a difference in policy at the highest level

Who knows if they’re even listening?

But to create community

And change minds

‘We the People’ and all
