I want to wear a hijab

I want to wear a hijab,

Carry a rainbow flag,

Go to Standing Rock

And stand in front of Planned Parenthood.

 

I want to picket,

Write letters,

Blog,

Email and

Make phone calls.

 

I want to be persuasive,

Engage my confederate flag-hanging neighbor in conversation,

Save the earth,

Feed the hungry

And house the homeless.

 

I want to not be scared,

Not act based on fear,

Embrace love and compassion,

Share it with the world,

And hope it spreads.
