An Inadequate Description of the Ocean

First transgender representative 

First protester

First lesbian senior 

First Muslim mayor 

First to take a stand

First in history

But that's not the point is it?

Not at all

Scalding water to make tea 

Eggs Broken to cook an omelet 

__

I wonder what I'd do if it were up to me 

__

 Where I'd draw the line in the sand  

The people built the wall 

With their hands in their pockets 

Brick by brick 

Lifted over heads bowed low

Then they tore it down 

Hands bleeding
