am i doing my part

if we want to change culture

the best way is to create more of it is this why then i paint

and seek others who paint

and make efforts to uplevel this painting

and in ways that hold more truth

and sic authenticity

is this the doing my part nothing to do with

protests

social rants

fists held high

anger

brush in hand

imploring those who want

to do the same

a consciousness to that is mine

that wont let me forget what i came to know

as much as i’d like to fall into inertia

to yours

to theirs

to ours

all

is this the response to our times call

i am doing my part
