Silence Is Not An Option

I have friends who will not particpate in the

upcoming Caucuses in Washington State

because

 their voices are not being heard

they say.

Their actions don’t matter

they tell me.

I say they no longer take action because

 they are tired of hoping.

I say they no longer speak up

because they are tired of being shouted down.

So this weekend

I will be heard.

I will participate

and I will hope.

I will not have those things taken from me

by anyone.

Ever.

  1. I’ve never understood this thinking: “There’s a chance my side might not win so I’m not going to play ball…” ??? What is this, junior high? Win or lose, you gotta take the field and get the ball rolling.

  2. Thank You N.M- the images at your places are pretty spicey 🙂 mine…well, you know they’re pictures.

    You know Lori, once you hit the wall it doesn’t hurt as much anymore after that…so for me, I’m all about the fight.
