Protest Poem

I came across a site and one of the prompts it had was to list ways a person could protest an injustice (feel free to list some ways in comments :-)  ).  In pondering that, I thought of protest songs.  I don't have a formal melody for this, but I just might try singing it - even if just for my cat to hear!  But for right now, it's a "protest poem."  - at least I hope it's in the protest tradition. Here goes:


What Matters

All our lives matter

Yes, every one

Brothers and Sisters

Under the Sun

We must use lenses

That do not distort

To better envision

Collective support

Let’s stand for justice

And help to repair

A system that’s broken

To make it more fair

For all our lives matter

Yes, every one

And working together

Our task’s just begun
