Welcome
We are
An occupation
On colonized land
We are poor
We are rich
We are hungry
We are well-fed
We are women
We are men
We are all genders
We are queer
We are ideologies
We are no ideology
We are religious
We are non-religious
We are non-violent
We are people
Standing in solidarity
Against oppression
This is a revolution
Worldwide

Yes, a few blocks away from the Occupy Wall Street camp at Zuccotti Park. I’d also like to find the author and give them their proper recognition.

Consider submitting poetry to the Occupy Wall Street Poetry Anthology. There is a thick binder at nearby Poets’ House that is updated weekly and tirelessly by Stephen Boyer. For more info… http://peopleslibrary.wordpress.com/2011/10/22/occupy-wall-st-poetry-update/

It would be cool if this anonymous poem could be translated in as many languages as possible.
