I Sit

Today

In this space

I sit

With my friends

In Peace

In protest

In rebellion

Too many changes

We don’t understand

And have no control

No power

No voice

No choices

Can’t take anymore

Need to take a stand

But we don’t want to hurt

We don’t want to destroy

We aren’t violent

We just want to be heard

By powers that be

So please hear us

And let us know

That you care

And that you’ll help

To bring us

To a better place

To Peace

To harmony

To our needs

To safety

And please

Let us know

That you respect

Where we are

And where we need to go

As you have all the power

To make the changes

But we

Have power too

But not like you

And so we sit

And we wait

In Peace

In solidarity

For you

To see

To hear

To change your heart

To come around

To a shared vision

To a win

For all

For power

To all the people

Who wait

In Peace

In protest

In rebellion

And

Sit
