Arm bands

National IDs

tracers for you and me

question to be free?

Trip ticks time clocks

run down dreams

immigrants flee

Rocky roads

No ice cream parlor ahead.

[Ann Marie Steele]

Beautifully written...tragic and a necessary reminder.

This is beautiful; I am not sure the armbands were a nightmare …I think they were a foreshadowing, unfortunately.

We must do all we can to prevent.

This was beautifully powerful, Samantha. You write from the heart. You write what needs to be written. 💛

[Samantha Lazar]

Thank you! It felt powerful when I wrote it. Lots of tears.

This spoke to my heart, and I'm trying very hard to eavesdrop on the conversation.

Wow. The power, the beauty...this is everything.

[Samantha Lazar]

Thank you. 😊

[Devo/Murphy Carpenter]

This feels terrifying true

[Samantha Lazar]

Yes it does!

[Ral Joseph]

Sad Samantha, but pretty....

I felt like crying but what's the point of crying for a system that is trying to oppress and not improve?

I guess I just found my favorite poem for the day ❤️

[Samantha Lazar]

Thanks so much for reading, Ral. 💕

A beautiful piece, Samantha.

And a timely one.
