_ Poet Beau Beausoleil asks what happens when the crew on the "boat
of liberty," a lifeboat bearing the survivors of other times and
wrecks, gives up. _

,

 

Raising the oars of our flagwe drift past all the bodies that make
up the  childhood of our history past all the lives that had to
becrushed to create wealth Oars down into resistancewe pull towards
the cities that first dreamed us even as they fill with glaciersof
blood-iceeven as they threaten to sink this outcast rowing-boat of
libertythat is moved by many many hands 

_Beau Beausoleil is a poet and activist based in San Francisco,
