Time to change
time to grow
time to hold on
time to let go
time to accept
time to challenge
time to step forward
time to step back
time past due
time is now
EQUALITY~
complete-
for ALL.
it’s about TIME…
I am…
I am a white woman.
I cannot sit silently.
I cannot ‘reason’ this out.
I watched a black man
die under the knee of
a white police officer.
A few weeks ago a
black man was murdered
while out running by white men.
A few months ago a
black woman was murdered
in her own home by a
white police officer.
There is no ‘reasoning’ this.
There is no justification for this.
There is no excuse for this.
These are Americans-
Our brothers and sisters
Slaughtered over and over.
How can I stay silent?!…
It is barbaric
It is cruel
It is unjust
IT HAS TO STOP.
I think I finally understand
‘white privilege’
it doesn’t mean I was
given more, it means
I am not seen as ‘less’.
A white woman does wrong
and is called on it by a black man.
She whips out her phone and threatens to call police
and tell them she is being harassed
by a black man. That is white privilege.
No one ever got to chose their birth-ever!
I see you
In whatever glorious color you are-
I see you and I respect you-
No matter your shade of skin or any
other ‘identifier’.
Are you decent?
Are you kind?
Are you honorable?
these are the ‘qualifiers’-
Skin color is not.
We the people
are supposed to stand
for EQUALITY for all.
Why is it so hard?
It isn’t hard
It’s easy-
IF…
White America-wake up-please
support every American in search
of OUR DREAM…
Freedom, equality, and peace…
Remembrance
Remembrance
today
for the
brave
the
fallen,
they took
the oath
they fought
the fight
they lost
their lives,
for our
nations heart
and history
some went
willingly
some went
unwillingly
all paid
the cost
for freedom,
Remember…
Wisdom
Wisdom learned
wisdom earned
wisdom to
let go
wisdom to
hold on
wisdom to
seek
wisdom to
hide
wisdom to
fight
wisdom to
flight
wisdom to
hold
wisdom to
fold
wisdom must
be learned
wisdom must
be earned…
Ma
I’ve loved you for forever…
I’ll always love you…
You gave me life…
You gave me all…
You never gave up.
No matter the fall.
I am grateful,
to you,
for you,
Evermore…
My Mother was;
strong,
kind,
funny,
a fighter.
My Mother gave;
everything,
love,
hope,
dreams.
My Mother;
Never gave up,
Never gave in,
Never stopped
loving me.
My Mother was;
a brave woman
in a cruel world
but she NEVER
lost her spirit
or her way
of finding laughter
and joy,
of mothering me…
Thanks Ma…

Believe~
Love

Empty spaces
