Daily Dose of Poetry – Today’s Poem: To Be Key Maker


To Be Key Maker

by Kay Kestner:

Too many doors are closed. 
Too many keys are missing. 
If only I could unlock you. 
If only I could unlock me. 
There are too, too many  
doors closed, and more 
doors closing every day. 
And never enough keys. 
If only I could learn to be 
a key maker, oh, the doors 
I would open.  So, so many 
doors that must be opened. 
So many many locked doors 
and millions locked alone 
behind them.  If only 
I could make keys 
instead of poetry.

Do Something for Democracy

Given the rapid changes to our government in the United States, it’s vitally important for us to speak up. Silence and apathy will only embolden a leader who serves his own agenda – an agenda that undermines democracy both within the US and around the world.

Every small act adds up when we all “do something.” Even if it’s just making one call, once a week to one of your representatives – that adds up!

The resources on the Do Something for Democracy page give you ways you can take action. Find what fits your comfort level. No one can do it all, but we all can do a little something.
