Poem by Gerda Pickin

There are people who would use the viral deaths of tens of thousands to line their pockets with millions. There are people who would use a food price spike caused by a desperate war to line their pockets with billions. There are people who would use the plight of those who flee danger to make us hate strangers and sink even lower. There are people who would use a war zone (well behind the line of fire) as a photo opp to keep their greasy hands on power. There are also people who would fight the lies, try to put things right, go on strike, and light the match that sparks the fire of resistance. You choose.
