LJ Idol 10: Topic 7: Where I'm From

Where I'm From

where I'm from

is under attack

not from without

imagined slights and hidden

terrors

but from within

where fear and hate

scrabble for footholds

and all good people

cry out

and the world

cries out with us

where before we shined

a beacon

now we walk in darkness

where once diversity

now division

where once

Beautifully written. Profound. Clearly expresses your views. Art.

[kajel]

Wonderfully written.

[rayaso]

This was a wonderfully stripped-down and effective poem. The tight language was great!
