My Little Sister

My little sister

Only 7 years old

Innocent

And yet strong willed

She will grow up

In this country

With this president

This person who calls himself

A leader

She will watch women

Around her

Be hurt by his laws

She will live in fear

She will hear about Canada

And passports

She will hear about violence

And pain

She will grow up

In this nation

With this president

I swear

If he makes her

Lose her fierceness

I will personally

Talk to him

If he makes her

Scared to be herself

I will right email after email

Letter after letter

My little sister

My strong

Fierce

Bright

Bold

My little sister

You are better than him

  • Tonight

    I will not sleep tonight

    I will worry and fret

    About the outcome

    Of this election

    This election

    Will either be a blessing

    Or a curse

    For the next 4 years

    I will not stop thinking

  • I'm not, and yet

    I'm not responsible

    And yet I have responsibilities

    I'm not my siblings parent

    And yet I am expected to parent them

    I'm not that smart

    And yet I must be right

    I'm not mature
