Listen white men

 Listen, white men


We must flood the airwaves with stories 

Of the deeds of women and people of color

Stories as relentless and pounding as 

Waves on the seawalls built of

White male privilege, abused


We need to know these stories

Because the courage, deprivation, loss

And horror they contain

Uncover the very weakness 

That can make us new resolute


Every human being must be a part of us

“We must embrace, not use

We must love, not possess

We must give, not take”

Must be the code of all, not some
