Through time
our voices have pierced
like pinpricks through paper
until there are so many
that the tiny holes
appear as one.
 
We penetrate
Illuminate injustice
from voting booths
to factory floors
in shimmering colours
of purple, white and blue
 
A rainbow of steel
empathy, acceptance
 
and love
 
They tried to
dim our light today
but that’s the thing about light
when it hits an obstacle
it finds a way
to go around
