hylife vol. 14
YO...GO AND VOTE....
you know it is something people worked, hope,
organize, fight, kill, marched, strike,
revolt, rally, chant, sit-in, walked out, dreamed,
chained, fasted, ran, got beat,
struggled, hoped, and sang for.
maybe it's a chore but
do it on the way to the store...
and for my cynix: just cuz ya vote
i ain't sayin and i dont mean in it ya place all
your hope...at least We know why,
today,
and tomorrow, We know about the histories, laws,
and 3/5 sorrows...
Singing songs of protest for my babies to come...
dreaming of possible outcomes with hopeful hums.
who did wade through the water wishing...
to cast a vote and ring the bell...
ring your bells child...ring
five freedoms...don't take it for granted.
...singing for all the saints and cynix in my
head
i said: laying to rest my need to know that what
i do will change the world.
cuz it already has. yeah.
and what is a sneeze
in the universe.?
ahhh...for my children yet to come. it's my
warm-holding arms and a loving breeze...
and that's all it is...that's all it is.
you know i don't place my hope in my vote...
but i'm on this turtle island boat
so i punch the book in
the bigger book of life
craft some sails from the old and
sing with my sisters and brothers and We go marching
out, and on...
change a come. hy don't lie. change a come.
that's all it is...
change a come
warm holding arms and a loving breeze...
change a come. yeah.
sometimes ya work it in
sometimes ya work it out
word up.
courage, peace, shena tova, and love.

"What is voiced by the
powerholders in the decision-making arenas may
not always
reflect the real conflict, but may articulate
norms or myths which disguise or deflect
the more latent conflict." --Gaventa
