your voice is the essay
that gets you into college.
your voice is the proclamation
of love at the altar.
your voice is the yes
at every turn in your life.
your voice battles the no
in every corner of the world.
your voice is the rebel yell
that silences fear.
what a gift, this voice we possess.
what magic, these symbols
we’ve crafted to shape our intentions
what power, to embrace our ability
to metaphor.
for your voice
is also a dollar
in the direction humanity’s going.
your voice is clicking
drops into the bucket of change.
your voice is a hug
for those who’ve been denied.
your voice is standing in solidarity
with the marginalized.
your voice is living in solidarity
for the marginalized.
your voice is evolving in unity
so that none are marginalized.
honey, can’t you see?
we have come so far.
we have done so much.
we have continued to revise our narrative
in the face of front yard flames.
we keep returning to change,
even though obsolete system
