after sitting in the audience
listening to the commission's
presentation on poverty and
their action plans to fight it,
you went to the other side
of privilege to live with the needy.
after all the debates and
political posturing, and media
buys on how to stop the
folks from trying to flee fear,
you went to the other side
of the borders to listen to all
the stories of loss and grief.
after telling stories of
dysfunctional families and
folks who set aside their
inherited prejudices and
listening to the pain of
all discounted by the world,
you went to the other
side of death, to show us
the way to live right here,
right now
