V'ahavta

I wrote this poem after the Orlando massacre of LGBTQ people, mostly people of color, and half of them Puerto Rican. I needed to remind myself that imagining the possibility of winning, of creating the world we want, is part of our responsibility as people who care about social justice. It's based on the Jewish v'ahavta prayer that tells us to incorporate our core beliefs into every aspect of our lives, and "choose life, that you and your children may live."
