Today's poem was written last night. READ! ENJOY! AGITATE! EDUCATE! CREATE!

A20: This year grows too thin

A month of sadness begins in the streets of DC
As an absentee supporter alone in a quite room
Under a lonely blanket of stars
I climb to the top of my ego
Only to fall again like bricks pushed over the edge

So what's happening with us
What's happened to you
What's happening in the world
What have we become?

I left a letter inside an envilope inside a coat pocket inside a locker
And I never took it out and completed the mission
I guess I got scared
But when you hold me; that's inspiring
It's like the political prisoners banging on the jail windows in solidarity with the protest outside
And that's what's real
And that's revolution

The way yr eyes change shade when I stare deeply into them
That's revolutionary and that's beautiful
And revolution is beauty
