We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must—at that moment—become the center of the universe.
—Elie Wiesel
Third Wednesday
Third Wednesday has published my poem "The Word 2" in their print journal. They have also chosen to post it on their website as their
Poem of the Week! Very cool. Alas, they somehow attributed it to "M. Rush" instead of "M. C. Rush," which doesn't do my brand any good, but still, I'll take it!
