We are not being heard
the mass of the people
only the diehards
the elites, the brokers
extremes of our nation
only the wealthy
those who can buy power
they alone able,
to grab the ear of justice
to turn the nation to them
to demand a seat at the table
all of the rest of us muzzled
denied our right to speak
the divide becoming greater
the great and the weak

We are not being heard
Wall Street protests
=====
March 17, 2011
calling on President Obama
and the world
to act in the Middle East,
especially in Libya and Bahrain,
to stand with the people
yearning to breathe free
and not worrying about the
results,
that it is always right to stand for basic human rights
&
on
the transformations since the beginning of January -
all
the protests in Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Oman,
Jordan,
Iran, Iraq, Palestinian Territories, Djibouti, Mauritania, Senegal, Saudi Arabia, etc.
