Hands on Politics
I worked for my candidate today
in a stuffy warehouse instead of
packing picnic for walk in woods.
I made myself call strangers on
cell phone I don't use on my own
because I believe future depends
on citizen commitment to remaking
government of, by, for all people .
Seductive trap to accept passive
role as consumer of government.
entitled to argue, lament, complain.

Good for you for practicing 'hands on politics,' Victoria! So important not JUST to be a 'consumer of government.'
ReplyDeleteYou're an inspiration, Victoria. Hard to cast aside a lovely picnic, but so uplifting for the right reasons.
ReplyDeleteYou amaze me with your dedication to something so important to our lives. You are an inspiration in so many ways and this one is one of those.
