POLITICAL Poem: Huddled Masses, by Rebeca Thomas

Enraged!
Need to engage
Share the information
Stop the desecration

Stop Ice dot net
Doing the work
Alerts to sign up for
A way to show up for
Our brothers and sisters

Educate
Don’t fumigate
As if we and they
are not human beings
As if we and they
are not being seen

What happened to the I and Thou?
Martin Buber tried to explain
We are not separate but One
What’s going on? This world is insane!

What happened to Having that Dream?
The one Dr King tried to Bring
Dreams and Dreamers are treated
Like curses and bad words that sting

Feeling helpless?
Not sure what to do?
When masked men show up
To take your neighbor who
We are commanded to love

How to resist?
How to persist?
Remember John Lewis
Get in good trouble, necessary trouble
Keep sharing the information
We must stop this desecration
