Objections of a white privileged woman

These days I hear the wild fury of fear
a maelstrom of swirling doubts
hurling into a circus of confusion and lies

be powerful
object

object to politics of “us and them”

object to what or who feeds fear
fear feeds impotence
shrinks a person

object to racism breeding despair,

object to despair feeding violence

object to gender discrimination
sexism
Islamophobia
xenophobia
religious intolerance

object to the loss of freedom of choice
object to the loss of our freedom to worship who or what we choose

time to object, to risk, resist, be powerful, give voice

Hope without action is silent
Hope with action may change everything
