Today I am afraid
For today my life
Lies in the hands of people
Who see me as a monster
A destroyer
Today I am afraid
For the day I finally can stand
My legs will be broken
By people
Stronger and more powerful than me
And in a week
My life will lie in the hands
Of the people
Who hate me
Just to spread
The hate in their hearts
Posted in response to the challenge Nov. 5 Election.
Today felt the same as yesterday
Nothing changed
But there was a silence
That echoed in the voices
I heard
Today felt as if nothing changed
I got up brushed my teeth
I've had the same dream
Again and again
Night after night
And I spend day after day
Thinking about what it means
I'm standing in front of that building
Nothing lives here anymore
Nothing remains
We all grew up
And went our own ways
And nothing is left to prove we
Ever were there
Your bike was given to your little brother

Thank you for raising your voice. We will fight back- or shall I say write back- and this country will see that we are not powerless.
Thank you, I intend to do all I can with my voice and my words. we are definitely not powerless and it has to be known!
