Sometimes writing a long or short story just doesn't convey what a poem can... This is how I felt as I let my anger, hope and love out onto the page... In this tumultuous and ever changing world we live in and where history continuous to repeat itself, words matter. I invite you to think about how we start over with a new language. How we replace words like "minority", "black", "white", "left", "right", "female", "male", with "human". I invite you to think about the power of a label. I invite you to think about the word "minority" for example, the weight of that word and how it alters the perception of the person to whom it has been associated. Now replace that word with "human"...
Let's do better this time.
