Freedom
In remembrance of the 2011 protests in Tunisia, Egypt, Gabon, Bahrain, Libya, and elsewhere.
Liberation comes when people gather by the tens and by the thousands
demanding that the despot who's held the reins step down, and in between the slogans
they dish out lentils cooked over open flame, and homes open up so the protestors can shower
and members of one faith link hands
to protect members of another faith at prayer.
Liberation comes at a cost: not only
the horses and chariots swept away, but
innocents gunned down by their own army, panicked children lost in the roiling crowds
activists imprisoned for speaking freely, and when the world stops watching
they may be beaten—or worse.
It's upon us to at least pay attention
on mobile phones and computer screens as real people rise up to say
we have the right to congregate and to speak we will not be silenced, we are not afraid.
(—Rabbi Rachel Barenblat)
