Not Alone

On this day commemorating

Love

My thoughts turn to those

Who are

Marginalized

Abused

Bullied

Beaten down

Physically

Mentally

Spiritually

My thoughts turn to those

Who feel the bitter sting

Of isolation.

I wish I could reach out

And tell them all

How much love in

The world

There is for them.

I wish I could reach out

And give them the

Tenderness and compassion

They are longing for.

To show them that

They are not truly

Alone.

The Humanity

The Humanity.

Taking to the streets again

To March.

Rallying to protect

Families they don’t know

Families from foreign

Places who have been

Separated by inhumane laws.

These marchers are the best

The United States has to offer.

I hope the world realizes that

We are doing what we can

To fight against the

Tide of fascism that

Is growing before our eyes.
