“when black on white grays the technicolor touches of the days”
I just had to keep reading this line. Profound. Beautiful. Clear. Wow.

Hi Belinda,

I love the power in this poem. It seems to pick up more steam as it goes along. Naturally, I gravitate to this line:

“when I’d rather break the rules, change the rules, lose the rules”

The rules hold us back from creating real change most of the time. We always need to ask, “who really benefits from the rules?”

Wonderful! Giulietta

“when I’d rather break the rules, change the rules, lose the rules” – the power of peaceful protest, yes.

Beautiful and important words.

Incredible, as usual, but this is my favorite:
“may I never
abandon
my right to question
when black on white grays the technicolor touches of the days”

This is powerful stuff. But then again, I’ve come to expect that of you. (No pressure)
