we stand


we stand on the street corners, with hand lettered signs
we meet in the downtown square
many of us are older, we never imagined this
level of deceit in plain site, in this country

we listened to the war stories of our parents
and grandparents, the ones who survived
we are standing for our children and grandchildren
We stand on the corners, for all of us
for those who are not here, for all of us

we stand on the corners in the rain, heat and wind
we stand as the horns honk as cars pass by
there are many more thumbs up, than those who deny

we stand against centuries of inbred racism
that has created a false narrative of “us” versus “them”
We stand to create education and legislation
for “all the people” as one united people

we stand because “we know”
even when those currently in positions of greed gotten power “don’t know”
We stand for Due Process, DEI, NIH, Nat’l Lands, Medicaid, Medicare,
Social Security, USAID, USPS, Headstart, OSHA, and so much more

we came as strangers, we stand together
we have no weapons but our voices,
we are winning this war
