My wife, Phyllis, whom I accompanied on the March wrote her own poem and published it on the Poelitics blog as a comment on this poelitic.
Women by the millions marched the world
Supported by their fathers, brothers, sons
Ensuring that their voices would be heard
The women of the world today were one
Their message, we are you and you and you
No matter color, sex, faith, whom you love
Today marked the beginning, something new
Awareness we’re responsible for us
My wife and I joined in the Tucson march
Our children joined in cities where they dwell
We, with our friends we’re simply doing our part
Ten thousand others marched with us as well
Heed, Mr. President, our message clear
We’re millions strong; together we will act
We’ll act, we’ll act for things that we hold dear
Among your lies know this to be a fact!
1/21/17
It rained, the wind was strong
But we marched along.
Woman and men together
Cheering slogans, carrying signs.
Listening to speakers
Enjoying music
Inspired to help our causes
Our country will be better
