An a·cros·tic is a poem, word
puzzle, or other composition in which certain letters in each line form a word
or words. I have written an acrostic for
today, for now, for you. This acrostic’s
message is in the first letter of each line.
When viewed you can see that the first letter of each of these lines
spell out the word ORGANIZE.
I have titled this Poem: "Unprecedented"
Over the arc and through the
bitter cold of this brash winter of rancorous discontent there is a defiant light
that shines
Reviving the life of a
movement awoken with a fresh spirit and invigorated focus; it is a light
glowing in your handmade signs
Generations connected in the
dream of equal justice too big and too strong to ever fade away
American through and through
in that dream’s character of a struggle for justice and equality whose time has
come today
Never goaded by the
twittering bluebirds of pettiness and rage chirping caustic messages late into
the night
Inspired by the first family
of grace to meet the lowliest of lows with only the highest of our height
Zealously energized are we,
ready to face the dawn of a day that the world never expected to be
Ever devoted to the dream that
is made by the steadfast, hands-on, every day work of people just like you and
me
