*Political posts now live on The Reckoning Lens, to comment please click here.

This is the companion poem to The Mask, the Mirror, and the Mic.

*If these themes make you uncomfortable, I’m probably trying to reach you.

Important to stand
And declare your presence

What if you sit
And mumble assent
Would it count toward your lessons
