i toured six different colleges over the past week

& i didn't care about the clubs

In the blustery cold of today’s noonday sun, I stand holding a sign amongst a group of people with similar signs.

Winter. A time of year we all know well.

A time of year when we hear the ringing of every bell.

A time of year when adults laugh and children play,

A time of year that lasts many a day.

What is democracy to you?

Is it a flag of red, white, and blue waving in the air on the back of your pickup truck while complaining to the administrators that immigrants are "infiltrating" your kid's school?

[Note: This piece is meant to flow like lyrical rap.]

Is this even a semblance of a

                     democracy?

Look at the atrocities 

Every time a women makes 87 cents

A man makes a dollar

For every time a woman gets spoken down on

A man is the speaker

For every time a woman gets called weak

A man is weaker
