damn if I didn’t see the agenda
believe the pretty words
blinded by the consequences to myself and others
thinking it must be an oversight
yesterday, I saw it
it was out there
it took a few brave souls
speaking out
their voices shook
they were nervous
it’s hard to speak in a public forum
against the entrenched heirarchy
damn if I wasn’t proud
damn if it didn’t give me hope
even if I was on the wrong side of the table

Brilliant. This so describes a very real situation. Going against the grain, and the sheer grit that it takes.

Thank you! It’s true, and people don’t realize how powerful their voice is in the public arena. Governments get their own way unless we speak up. I sit on a city committee and I was so proud of all the people that showed up and spoke for what they believe. Change only happens when we take risks and take our voice to the people who make the laws.
