A Social Justice Poem
I wanna
whoop and holler
pump my spastic arms
and fling my crippled body
into a furious frenzy
of pride and passion
I wanna dance
rip my limbs into the air
in celebration of the life
the current
in this room
And I can’t understand
you all
in this room
sittin’ pretty with your
polite applause
and your bland smiles
and I wanna shout
“don’t you know what’s happened here?”
“don’t you taste the revolution in the air?”
because if you did
if you really understood
the subversive words
dripping from outcast lips
then you would be with me
whooping and hollering
jumping and screaming
in celebration
of humanity
