Was it really about a loss?
Not in our city, not what I saw.
More a peaceful collaboration--
Not to condemn but...
To stand in solidarity.
Why?
A representation of each other regardless of
Who you love
How you worship
What you look like
Your cultural background.
Saying "We the people"
And excluding, labeling or devaluing
People of color
Immigrants
People with disabilities
Is the antithesis of "A more perfect union."
Motivated by anger you say?
Fear of what could happen?
Not in our city, not what I saw.
A preservation of community,
People first and protection
Safety and responsibility
Prevention of domestic violence and sexual assault
Health care for all
Equality for wages and love.
The melting pot is boiling over
With accusations, tirades and alternative facts.
Was it really about a loss?
Yes, the loss of humanity.
