RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ON TYRANNY
Real World Politics
A wise person once said
All politics is local
I don’t know if that’s true
But I do know this:
Your sphere of influence is limited
From behind a computer screen
Typing comments and tweets
On social media
Counting hearts and thumbs
When the pandemic passes
Go out into the world
Make new connections
March the streets of protest
Attend gatherings
Find interesting people
Talk to them and listen
We have been behind closed doors
Far too long
Make it a point to breathe
The sunlit air
Listen to the four winds
See which way they blow
Let others know you care
We are travelers on a small orb
Crowded yet alone
We can find common ground
If we adopt a civil tone
