Fighting Tyranny

Person raises a peace sign in a nighttime crowd, showing solidarity at an outdoor gathering.

Tyrants fall
when those beneath them
buried in the remotest corner of the earth
rise above.

And the end of injustice
is not the end of evil
but a digging out of the ditch
out of death.

We are
(altogether)
a torrent of the invisible
making waves with our multitudes
and pushing up to a place
where daybreak and air
call us back to ourselves
and into future days.

Barukh atah Adonai, m’khayyei ha’metim.
