I Write
I write
When voices are silenced
or prayers unheard
When women starve themselves for years
just to feel like they deserve
the glances of men as they walk on by
I write
When men declare war based on the color
of another man's skin
When fathers beat mothers
and daughters and sons
When people hurt so much that they cannot run
So they turn
to sex, drugs, and violence
I write
I write so that you can see as a community
and make the change
God knows, the only means to an end
is when we learn to work together
but until then
I write
Write with me
