June’s Prompt for Day 4 of 5: Write your destiny. I imagined a world different from the world I live in today.
The Privilege To Be
What if we attack hatred
With the same fire that we attack love?
No one policing the thickness of
Our manes and braids,
Crowns of grandma’s love
And great-grandpa’s strength.
They wouldn’t murder the souls of
Children whose parents cross borders to
Cater to people who never look at them.
What if…
No one shamed who married whom
No one denied us the right to breathe
No one had to be hashtagged
And body-bagged.
What if we attack hatred
Not because it’s trending or
Caught on camera, but because
Everyone should have the privilege
To be loved
To be safe
To be seen
To be.
