Blessed Was/Is/Will Be,
For the happy memories
Of myself as
A contrarian
A feminist
A Jew
An artist
An annoying woman
I bend the knee
In gratitude
For who and what I was.
For the absolute disgust
Brought on
By the oligarchs
The fascists
The opportunists
The racists
The misogynists
I bend the knee
In gratitude
For who and what I am.
For the old lady joy I get when
I see the young
Organize
March
Resist
Annoy
Pray
I bend the knee
In gratitude
For reminding me who and what we will be.
Amen
