We The People Who March
We walk because that is all to be done
all our bodies can do
when so much has been done to us...
The night before the Women's March in DC in 2017, I wrote this poem "We The People Who March." I was scared, hopeful and still had no idea of the institutionalized cruelty and bigotry we were going to see since then. Now that I'm back in Switzerland, feeling helpless over the constant hail of heart-breaking news, I like to think back to that first march and know that we have so much more ground to cover.
The poem is now featured in the Writers Resist Anthology along with other word-fists of resistance.
