Demanding Change!

Gathered together,
strong, weathered, tired and tried.
Listening to lies,
Challenging the ties,
Not being bound,
destined to be found.

The truth is buried,
Crying to be uncovered.
Colors are struggling,
Screaming, "We are one!"

Put away your guns,
We will not be done!

Intimidation tactics,
just some childish antics.

Cries for peace will always be answered.


Today, along with about 400 members of the Phoenix community we gathered to demand a change in the tactics of Sheriff Joseph Arpaio. Many of the faith community gathered, community and labor organizers. It was a brave turnout since this "man" arrests people, makes the men wear pink underwear in an attempt to emmasculate them. They are handcuffed in pink handcuffs. Some are taken to the desert and housed in tents! This outrageous behavior has been allowed by the city government for too long! Citizens are demanding change! I encourage you to be informed about the injustices in Maricopa County.

Peace and Justice to all!
