We are going to survive


He speaks bravely
he speaks boldly,
voice clear loud,
fingers trembling reveal
our shared vulnerability
when we speak our truth.

Here is how I heard him:

I want
you to imagine
I am your brother, your uncle, your son.
Would you want
me to be
denied
healthcare
if I need it in the future?

My fear
is what will happen
to me.

It
won't
be
easy.

I don't want
to use this word
but I
think it is a torture
method.

How am I
going to pay
when I am not allowed to work or to receive any money?

How does government think
we are going to survive.
