Daily Dose of #Poetry – Today’s Poem: A Dangerous Awareness 


A Dangerous Awareness 

by Kay Kestner:

A Dangerous Awareness 

we find our thoughts trembling 
at the sight of reality’s strange shapes 

somehow our minds 
have found their way around 
the twisted jagged sharp edges 
of mass misinformation 

and we go shaking 
quivering with the  
dangerous awareness 
that we know something 
they do not want 
us to know

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.
