A poor woman's speech
Speak of dignity.
Speak of sanity.
Of the poor without faces known in rooms of luxury.
Speak of futures.
Speak of listeners.
Of those that can carry the words forward with open hearted judgement.
Speak of the wholesome utopias.
Speak of the wild.
Of the planet tamed by global warming.
Speak of possibilities.
Speak of honesty.
Of equalities between the condemned.
Speak of who we might be.
Speak of who cannot be.
Of the way of lives suited to eventualities before death.
Speak of sight.
Speak of vision.
Of those who exist alongside the natural sence of self.
Speak of Father Mother God Creator Devine and what if peace was the only possibility.
