If you haven’t been listening
to their voices 
before this moment,
please, stop talking
and begin listening.
Suspend the incessant need 
to have the last word,
to always be right,
to preserve power and privilege.
In humility,
and for the love 
of all that is good,
take a breath,
be quiet,
and listen.
