A bird’s eye view shrinks me,
makes injustice seem both vast and small.
Where does my strength come from?
this fragile confidence to speak,
to complain, to resist, to believe?
I tweet injustice loud
strength rising from pixels,
confidence winged,
complaints flying,
beliefs viral.

I love that you tweet injustice loud!

We can’t resist a chance to rant or complain. The sad part is its ineffectiveness.

I like the play on “tweet” here. We could all benefit from that bird’s eye view, for sure.
