Everything helps: #takeaknee

in #poetry7 years ago

In solidarity with equality and the Black Lives Matter movement, and because my heart is forever open to anyone until they give me a reason for it not to be, and because race is a human construct invented for the purposes of maintaining power, and because love should always win because it is better, I wrote this poem to join the movement, #takeaknee

Equality

You will never know
how much gold a person
holds in their heart
until you
sit down in
a wide and
wild field
with them
and find out.


So happy to see so much of the NFL finally joining Colin Kaepernick to use their voices for something important.

Not sure why you chose to write it on your chest , but it's a surprisingly affective medium.

It's part of my physiopoetry project called Skin on Sundays <3

Love this.

People like you will succeed in putting the 'united' back in United States of America.

Thank you! I do my best with the art the lives inside me to make the world better!

Love to see you with soft heart...yes you're right everything helps. Gorgeous poem and you too! Love you dear 😍

Thank you!! It's sad that this all has to happen, but hopefully there is real change underway. It's sad that my country elected a president that wants to take society back to when women were housewives and black people were maids :(

It's so sad and why the peoples your country elected such president who does not want to rectify the mistakes. Why he wants to take society back? Is he not want to mend in the country? @jessandthesea dear take care of yourself,God bless you!
