Liberation Begins
with our Minds
At lunch today, or during a coffee break
We could switch the break room radio on
To the voices of someone else’s America
Demagogues yelling at us what to think
Or we could open that ancient paperback
Held together with tape and rubber bands
And continue Saint Augustine’s Confessions
Which we began in our younger, happier days
Eternal words, and not some Leader’s noise
Because you and I are not trapped in time
