May this day be, may we be
as a people
A rock thrown in the pond,
full force, or maybe, just maybe,
thousands of pebbles, hurled, dropped,
even gently coaxed into the water
however we are gifted, wherever we are
ripples, reverberating, echoing,
growing into a groundswell
a tsunami, if we have force, a movement,
to change the face of the planet
to change the discussion
at least for a day
onto on topic
inequality, injustice,
where we live
the place
we call
home
