When Snowflakes Melt
This is the first thing I have written since the election. Not great, but at least I'm writing again. 
When Snowflakes Melt
I was frozen in despair as I watched
humanity cheapened and sold so easily
and I can hear the tears falling
tears of
women
immigrants
gays and transgendered
minorities
elderly
tears that fall quietly upon
deaf government
I could not bear the thought
of all the soundless teardrops
I felt frozen by the weight
of knowing how much pain
has been thrust upon so many
My mourning time has reached it's end
and I'm not a snowflake anymore
I have melted into a tidal wave
A wave that will return again
and again and again
until human rights and dignity belong
also to the least among us

Please keep writing and sharing with us. 
Tidal waves affect change! Especially when unified to buffet the same area.
There's a reason the game ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS doesn't include water!
