POETRY FOR INCLUSION
A time to call for divine justice
A time to look for impeccable truth
A time to ask peaceable difference
A time to take a seat in imperfect spaces
A time to sing with unapologetic fervor
A time to ride a bus of unwavering humanity
A time to put in writing a letter of prudent reflection
A time to advocate for audacious hope
A time to walk within the footsteps arcing toward change
A time to like with renewed hands
