Let’s dream of
— Ayler Roskos
a new future where
one is free to think,
create, & be who
they want to be.
Let’s dream of a
day where workers
earn a living wage
& own the company,
instead of the company
owning the worker.
Let’s dream of a night
where everyone has
a place to rest their
head. Let’s dream
of a time without war,
famine, poverty, &
senseless death.
We can make this
future a reality by
speaking truth to
power & defending
those who are being
persecuted by the
powers that be.
