a poem i originally posted at abu ali's talk page (though it's wikilinks continue to morph into new forms)

I mean, how could we? Express an opinion, that is. Challenge authority or bring in points of view underrepresented in the mainstream. Be persistent, and yet pen poems. Write about our poets, writers, music, and resistance. How dare we pretend to know who we are and express what we believe.

How dare we? Write about what we know What they've done to us What they still do to us And not apologize for our pursuit of the truth
