National Poetry Month, Day 14: Freedom Speaks

Today’s prompt word is resist.

The statue, whose name is Freedom, sat outside the Congressional Auditorium in 2019. She is the same statue whose form sits atop the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. Today, I’ve pretended that she is speaking to her sister, Justice, to resist. We need the Congressional (Legislative) and the Judicial branches of the US Government to fight for our democracy.

I hope Justice listens.

Enough said.
