Rise Up!

POETRY FORMAT, 3 Mar 2025

Jocelyn Wright - TRANSCEND Media Service

The MAGA vision and strategy

Impoverish, takeover, enslave
Impoverish, takeover, enslave
The mind
The people
The state
The world
Impoverish, takeover, enslave
Impoverish, takeover, enslave
Rapidly
Thoroughly
By any and all means
Impoverish, takeover, enslave
Impoverish, takeover, enslave

Is but one

There are other, more humanizing, ways to (co)exist
But we must rise up: creatively resist, alternatively insist, and resiliently persist

For a more compassionate, equitable, and sustainable world
