    Let’s Have THAT Talk

    Here is a poem that Bucknell student Ariel E. Ulrich’ 25 wrote in response to her visit to the Samek Art Museum with Roger Rothman’s Art of Protest Class. Thank you for sharing your beautiful words, Ariel.

     

    Let’s have a talk
    About opioids
    About oppression

     

    Let’s have a talk
    About lives lost
    About lives stolen

     

    Let’s have a talk
    About buildings burning
    About buildings crumbling

     

    Let’s have a talk
    About masks
    About obscurity

     

    Let’s have a talk
    About smoke
    About ash

     

    Let’s have a talk
    About rape
    About blooding dripping down the drain

     

    Let’s have a talk
    About unity
    About polarization

     

    Let’s have a talk
    About riots
    About revolutions

     

    Let’s have a talk
    About white
    About black
    How life is more
    It’s gray
    It’s colorful
    It’s messy

     

    Let’s have a talk
    About rising up
    About inspiring change

     

    We’re more powerful than still images
    We have more power than words
    We can do more than just talk
    We have movement, mobility, and actions
    Those can change the world

     – Ariel E. Ulrich
