Freedom isn't only for
you.
You insist I respect your
rights?
I insist you respect
mine.
Co-existing with
loss
along the
way.
Dare to grieve, to feel
more than
I can contain, yet never
breaking
out of skin and
guts,
out, out, all
excruciation.
Mangling, squeezing
viscerally,
to expel! what I never
want gone.
I scream to tell -- again
and again,
but only within my bleeding
mind.
I see, hear, smell, grab to
my heart.
Courtyards swelled with
Spring,
with bursting flowers,
green.
Aching green, awash in
loss.
Your cause may be
just.
If your actions are
assholish,
that's all we will
see.
of course it's scary; it's
meant to scare --
domestic terrorism to take
over the country
(perhaps the world) without
the messiness
of actual war that could be
lost
we do not serve ourselves
or our causes by
overextending limited
energy -- we need to
feed ourselves with care
and kindness
that we rediscover
inspiration and action
we really ought to rethink
"economy" to understand
it is about distribution of
and creation of resources
for everyone's potential
benefit, not about hoarding
and destroying them,
certainly not about destroying
the source of all of our
"wealth"
if we want voters to show
id of a particular kind
to vote we must give that
id to all registered voters
and to each newly
registered voter at registration
otherwise it's not about
id, but discrimination
