In the frozen streets where snow
falls like witness, like question —
voices rise — shout, weep, chant,
echoing a name born from loss:
a daughter, a nurse, a neighbor.
Minnesota — fields of grain in warmth,
now fields of breath in cold,
where humans stand, unbowed, un-erased,
against raiders in federal gray.
Their banners overhead: justice, liberty, truth.
They say the law is written,
they invoke the Constitution,
but hearts know —
a nation’s promise is more
than ink on parchment.
Here the city backs each other,
lift up the fallen,
guard the rights their forebears fought for,
not wanting to learn again
what it means to be defenseless.
Voices merge into a hymn
against blind enforcement,
against power without accountability,
saying no to terror here,
no to force without cause.
Windows shake from chants in the street,
candles glow in vigil light,
and while the cold cuts deep,
hope warms the marrow of every chest
that stands up and refuses fear.
They rise not for retaliation —
but for justice unmasked,
for rights protected by heart and law,
for community bound,
for every human standing tall.
Here in Minnesota’s chill,
the people’s cry becomes thunder,
and beneath that storm of protest
they rewrite what strength is:
not violence, but union,
not silence, but voice,
not defeat, but steadfast resolve.
We are still here.
We will still stand.
In blood or in breath,
we will be human first.
Not machinery.
Not statistics.
Not fear.
Human.
Here.
Now.

Bra snabbt tempo. Tycker jag att jag automatiskt läste i. Passar innehållet. Protester och det mänskliga, kommer fram, och, hoppas jag, står upp emot det ondskefulla, hemska. Fint, nästan mässande.
