​Excerpt-7:  A political poem.
I wrote this for Hillary Clinton three months before the 2016 election,
​but it feels like it's even more relevant now.

---

some things are bigger than you 
if you are in contempt 
and not in support 
you will be on the wrong 
side of history 

this is the time of women 
the time of woman power 
the time to evolve beyond the limits 
of the patriarchal society 
we all grew up in 

the one that has driven the world 
for so long 
the one that has driven us to the brink 
of perpetual war or annihilation 


but we have a history of diversity 
human rights 
and the struggle for equality 
which has brought us to this moment 

a paradigm shift is upon us 
if you are not in support 
you are on the wrong side of history 

not the written history 
put down by the dominant influences 
of power, taken up after conquering 
or a coup 
but the history of this moment 
in our evolution 

be on the right side of history 
be on the side of moving forward 
it is truly a matter of light or dark 
if you look into your heart 
the choice cannot be more clear 

—for Hillary 8/1/16
