Cd's Report To The Board Poem by Grant House

Goal 4: Provide resources for community advocates.
Action Taken: Nothing directly at this time.CD

CD, in your report
you said
you did
'nothing directly
at this time.'

Not so, sister.

You
communicated,
coordinated,
educated,
instigated,
activated,
informed,
transformed,
reframed,
reclaimed
territory taken.

Empowered,
they took it back.

Nothing directly
at this time?

You put it
on the
map,
woke them
from their
nap,
drew them
out,
gave them
clout.

They found their
voice,
made a
choice,
wrote that
letter,
made things
better.

CD dear,
don't you
know?

This amount of
nothing directly is
exactly
what we
have been talking
about.

Please do more
nothing
directly.
