Inauguration Day

Paralysis sets in, A symptom of existential dread How did we get here again? How did people vote to Make America š˜øš˜°š˜³š˜“š˜¦ Again? There’s nothing great about Oppression or misogynistic expression There’s nothing great about The home of the brave When so many don’t feel free. No glory to God be; Inauguration will be a day of mourning. As I look for hope in honoring The legacy of Dr. King. May Civil Resistance fill the streets. Let us tend to community; For the next four years Will require resilience and revolution. Let us care for each other; In numbers, there is strength. May our sorrow and rage be a Tool for Justice. May we rest when we feel hopeless. Democracy will not go down without a fight The time to prevail is here. Ā© KSS 1/19/2025
