No Justice, No Peace

Help us keep on giving.

Sponsored by Workhorse, Lexington Poetry Month is an easy to use platform for poets to publish and share their work in an attractive way. The community is supportive and diverse, commenting and encouraging one another throughout June. Money we raise goes to maintaining the cost of the website and publishing the yearly anthology. Our goals are to provide every poet (~150) a copy of the anthology, lower printing costs, and expand opportunities offered during Lexington Poetry Month, such as featured readings and poetry workshops.

No Justice, No Peace

I’m tired
I don’t really feel like writing a poem

I stood with my community tonight
And marched for Black Lives

It’s 2020 and the fact that nothing’s changed is disgusting
I’ll continue to use my voice
I’ll continue to march
No justice,
No peace

Morgan, thank you!
There have been changes as I remember the 1968 riots as a child and how things were in the south, but the changes are incremental, unfair and slow.
“I’ll continue to use my voice” keep at it!

Never stop reaching for a better time. That is how we got beyond death camps and Spanish flu.
