Social Justice

" Resistance-" the word resonates while causes spring up like mushrooms after a rain. And now, we have hashtag this and that and the "Me Too" movement and although I support justice for all- emphasize the word "all" meaning not just for celebrities and athletes the prominent ( those who can access the media and hire attorneys.) but justice too, for the victims who are mentally ill, or homeless for women inmates and enlisted personnel the ones at the hands of guards, NCOs and officers - let's not be indifferent to their pain. ( though somehow there's still a silence.) And it is said " there is nothing new under the sun." but now, this " new" ( though all- too old) political climate of finger-pointing an " us" vs. " them" mentality of ignorant tribalism- like pack dogs scavenging, marking territory, turf- this needs to end... And we must have reason to celebrate together, as the late poet, Lucille Clifton said, " Every day something has tried to kill me, but failed." And we need an enlightenment an embarking unto an entirely different direction- like the Beatles sang- " Love is all You Need."
