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

So much truth here. Thanks for this.

Like you, I wish it weren't so. I hope our voices can have an impact.
