Comment from Laurie Holding
Great accompanying art, and I can see you actually sat there and put some thought into this. (I know it's tempting to just let one fly off your keyboard when you're dealing with such a small piece; sometimes it's more difficult to work within the restrictions, and it's good to see you really spent some time on it.) Well done and good luck!

Oh my gosh! Thank you! Sometimes I wonder if the goal is to say something meaningful or just go for the vote ;0
I am grateful for your understanding, time and your words:)

I like this. The message speaks to each one of us. We can (and should) listen to other points of view, but we must not allow ourselves to be cowered, threatened, or drowned out by other. We own our integrity and values...and very little else. Best we treasure our truth!--Karenina

Thank you! That is the message I was aiming for:)
It can be challenging -- I am (still) learning to say what I mean and not what is comfortable for others.
I appreciate your time and your words:)

I think it is always a challenging situation in such a divisive world. In my own town cars with bumper stickers for one or the other candidate for president are being vandalized! Turns out free speech is NOT free all too often!--Karenina

Your poem speaks volumes, our voices can be stilled especially by fear. Today many people in office are afraid to speak out against the president out of fear of losing their position. While others speak out against injustice. Powerful poem.

Comment from Gloria ....
Very nicely written author. I find the first word repeating in the last word in slightly different context a most invaluable exercise.
Wishing you much luck in the booth with this fine entry.
