Beyond Limits

As for me, I cannot do much …

                I used to feel like No One, then I realized that

                                I am not just Some One …

                                                I am Every One.

I am the Consciousness that will not consolidate on its own;

                I am the sea that cannot be formed because all the rivers

                                Persist,

                                And Resist,

                                And Meander …

I am the Voice of the Abused Child,

                The Cry of Women who endure;

                The Mother who Plays Father, and

The One Who Envisions how much better it could be.

And all I can do is write:

                It is the least expensive,

                Most passionate thing of

                Which I am capable.

And, through all our recent hardships, I have realized

                That I am more than capable of this,

So, all I ask is that YOU LISTEN.

                Listen, and then see what you can do, what WE can do, as a People, to fix our World. 

Please.
