Poet’s Corner: Occupy Is an Invitation

It’s 3.43 in the morning and I can’t sleep…

I am woken by a Mic check

[Mic check]

“This is just the beginning.

Occupy is a process”

[Mic check]

“Slow it down,

the issues of our times are urgent.

Slow it down,

Your attention is needed.

Occupy is an invitation

To wake up

Join us

Occupy is an invocation

To wake up

Join us

TWe the people, are the ones we’ve been waiting for

We have lost our faith in the leadership of government and big business

We have found our faith in each other

We have found our humanity in the beauty

and the clumsiness that is Occupy

We are finding our way.

Occupy is a process.

We the people, are so many more than you see here today.

We the people, are a voice for peoples and beings who have no voice

Occupy is process

Occupy is community

Occupy is an invitation

To wake up

Occupy is an invitation

To be the change we want to see in this world

To be the courage that asks questions

To be the patience taking time to find answers

To be the hearts not prepared to wait any longer

for the madness to end.

For Occupy is an invitation

for love

to be made visible

For humanity

To wake up

For humanity

To wake up

Join us.
