Here
I sit
In
the quiet of this room
Stillness
all about
Will
peace arrive any time soon.
Friends
on the right
Friends
on the left
Noise
all around
Truth
somehow left bereft.
Her
words
Left
us troubled
Her
story within us stirred
The
pain in our souls bubbled.
His
words
Spoken
in a rage
Unfit
for one of such stature
Did
not my doubt assuage.
He insulted
A conspiracy that did unfold
He lost any respect
His white male privilege depths untold.
He insulted
A conspiracy that did unfold
He lost any respect
His white male privilege depths untold.
The
leader
Of
the land did stand
Pronounce
her story credible
Yet
truth has somehow been banned.
He
who received
The
least votes
Affirmed
by men
Filibustered
with many quotes.
He now
appointed
One
who has little support
Of the
people of our country
To the
nation’s highest court.
Then
that man
Has
the audacity
To
apologize quite profusely
Doubting
truth and its veracity.
Now
is the time
To
rally around character
Take
people to the polls
Truth
does indeed matter.
Yes,
I will vote
Hope
others take note
Bring
their friends and neighbors
And restore
us after our labors.
