Black Lives Matter (4-5-4 Haiku)

Amen, Rachelle! I can't imagine what it's like being discriminated against outside of being a woman in a male world. The first step is everyone accepting everyone, regardless of race, color, creed, or nationality as an equal voice in this country.  THEN the first step toward Oneness has been taken.

Love this.

So much this, Ahavati!  🙏🏽💜🙏🏽, R.

Powerful ... Poignant ...

Thank you for the kind words and RL add. 💜, Rachelle

Well done... wonderful message

Thank you so much, A., R.

Powerful message Rachelle, it's delivered with wisdom and hope.
Nicely penned.

Thank you for the kinda words, Wally!  May that we get there someday soon! Rachelle

You are right!

:)!  I also hope I am right about the optimism I have that we can actually change!.. :). R.

Hell yeah. A remarkably simple truth stemming from a complex problem. Beautiful and stark.  

Thanks so much, Harry, for the thoughtful and kind words!  R.

Ain't that the truth... 'united, we Stand - divided, we fall."
I don't have high hopes that we will be united anytime soon, as tensions seem to be steadily escalating, but hey... I have a smidgen of hope left. Anyway, nice writing, Rach <3

It is hard, isn’t it? I try not to hope too much, and just do the work as if it is almost upon us. :). Thanks for the thought-provoking comment. R.

You're most welcome, R. Indeed it is. That is a good attitude to have too! Being too hopeful often leads to disappointment...

Heavy Duty Haiku!

Unfortunately, this rings true even to this day and well into the future.
