Rick Folker Poet Political Verse

Kindred Kind

KINDRED KIND
by
Rick Folker

We need prophets and poets
Poor people, lost people
Raising their voices
In Rage

We need Feminists
Fearless Gays, Forces of Freedom
Ready to
Engage

We need Blacks
We need Browns
Burning with your 
Fundamental 
Faith

We need the Unsung Young
And the Yellow-Red tongue
Yelling down
The rising tide of
Hate

We need Torturous Truth
And Towering Hope
Talking back to power
Slinking from the 
White privilege
Haze

We need you, we need me
To seize the scepter
Of shouting supremacy

Something
That just might sound; 

Soulfull
Selfless and just simply

Sane
