Your poems on this matter ring very true. It’s unbelievable what society has let slide for so many years because of an underlying prejudice towards a group of people, whether they knew they were fueling it or not.

Nothing is a problem unless it’s a problem for them individually . We’re so disconnected from what’s important like love and trust in one another to speak up in times of need, to lend a helping hand and understanding shoulder. What a mess has been created.

Black lives matter.

This is a wonderfully executed sentiment Maryanne. Nothing more than that, other than the truth is so loud now.

This is succinct and so, so important, MA. I can feel the anger and frustration seeping through my screen.
