Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere – Martin Luther King Jr
I don’t fear for safety
From the simplicity of evil
or complex works of good.
Beyond the neat edge
of my experience,
security is a privilege.
Fears that I don’t share
are still unendurable,
life-draining, life-ending.
My enclosed experience hints
at other works and wheels,
a shared system of society.
All that produces this world,
the light and dark, actors, victims
and passive accomplices.
We are interconnected –
This condition, this system,
this change is mine too.
