“Seeds” by Janel Spencer-Levy

Seeds
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free.  – “Come Together,” The Beatles – Based on signs from the Women’s March, Jan 21, 2017, San Diego

When they tried to bury us, they didn’t realize we were seeds.
This
is
what
democracy
this
looks
like
democracy
this:
They didn’t realize we were seeds, when they tried to bury us.

In numbers too big to ignore,
hear
me
roar:
I,
hear
me,
am
woman,
here:
In numbers too big to ignore.

*

Si, se puede!
We
stand
for
equality.
We
the
people,
power,
we.
Yes, we can!

*

People still ask
what
was
the
victim
what
was
she
wearing
what…
people still ask.

*

Black lives
matter
seed
ash
magic
matter
bees
sand
polin
matter
Black lives

Revolution is love not
Trump’s
hate.
Love
is;
trumps
hate.
Our
love.
Trump’s
revolution is not love.
