POEM: Now Is Not The Time For Metaphors

Now is not the time for metaphors

Meet your neighbors.
Build your cells.
Gather supplies.
Learn skills.

Stay loud.
Stay focused.
Stay angry.
Stay compassionate.

Cops aren’t your friends.
Soldiers aren’t your friends.
Politicians aren’t your friends.
Bosses aren’t your friends.

Now is not the time for despair.
Now is not the time for silence.
Now is not the time for metaphors.
Now is the time for action.
