Poem: Civil Disobedience

[jtuck004]

Maggie Volpo

Because symbols have power

a woman refused to give up her seat,

laborers walked 24 days

to refuse to pay a tax,

a woman starved herself

while incarcerated

for demanding a voice,

untold thousands took to the streets,

proudly refusing to be

invisible or silent anymore,

and

a woman climbed a flagpole.

...

Bree Newsome faced

three years in prison

for the attempted murder

of a symbol,

because symbols have power,

and now so does she.

Any words I have would pale in comparison, so I will just leave it for you.
