Solidarity Poetry

See outside your own boundaries. Appreciate the differences. Be not surprised by our universal similarities. We are one.

You are part of me
And our family.
In fact, you are part of
This destiny:
In this clan of misfits
Up to good and
Not,
You fit right in
To this clandestine lot.
So glad you’re here —
The water’s warm —
(Though the sky is clear now,
Together
We’re prepared for the storm).
