Favorite Quote:
"Once social justice begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. And you cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore." -Cesar Chavez


She knew she was trapped
Millions of shards reflecting light
Laid upon the cold stone floor
The light trickled into her skin
And she knew then, that nothing could be concealed
Away from the piercing, seeing, blades
Her lips slightly trembled,
A leaf shuttering and tearing apart in the storm
The truth was now known,
And she had to face it all alone
The rain drops of hatred and horror stoned her to the ground,
Her mind hurled and leapt and drowned
In the waters of those melting, hurting words
