the People
Poetry
the homeless person is not your enemy
the drug addict is not your enemy
the disabled person is not your enemy
the transgender person is not your enemy
the BLM ‘rioter’ is not your enemy
the person on welfare is not your enemy
the socialist is not your enemy
the person getting an abortion is not your enemy
the felon on a weed charge is not your enemy
the striking worker is not your enemy
the Black teen walking home at night is not your enemy
the anarchist is not your enemy
the communist is not your enemy
the non-binary feminist with colorful hair and a nose ring is not your enemy
the liberal arts major with a mountain of student loan debt is not your enemy
the insulin rationer is not your enemy
the caged migrant child is not your enemy
the refugee is not your enemy
the undocumented laborer is not your enemy
the fat person is not your enemy
the garbage man is not your enemy
the McDonald’s cashier is not your enemy
the abolitionist is not your enemy
the revolutionary is not your enemy
the sex positive woman is not your enemy
the climate activist is not your enemy
the immunocompromised person is not your enemy
the person with borderline personality disorder is not your enemy
the person with bipolarity is not your enemy
the person with chronic depression is not your enemy
the person who needs rest is not your enemy
the person who needs help is not your enemy
THE PEOPLE ARE NOT YOUR ENEMY —
the system is your enemy.
