| a bench under a tree at the grad school I go to in Santa Barbara |
What am I
saying when I am silent?
when the
insecure kid bullies
when the
preacher condemns
when the
congregation shuns
when some
family rejects
What am I
saying when I am silent?
when an adult rebukes
when
neighbors deride
when a
parent calls names
when the
fight leaves a bruise
What am I
saying when I am silent?
when the
years have gone by
child
wonders alone
when I don’t
speak up?
