The DA UK Youth caucus is about to release their new art zine project Stars & Gripes with an online launch party. Appearing in the publication will be this poem from our own Manya Sundström.
It matters the world
There is not enough time
For every conflict
For every silence
For every opportunity
For every loss
We must sometimes stop at the gate
We must sometimes jump over the threshold
We must sometimes
Pass through the passages
Without guide
Without companion
We must sometimes
Take that leap
Without the certainty
Of solid ground
And we must sometimes
Shut our eyes
Shut our ears
To the craziness of it all.
For in the end,
What does it matter?
Why does it matter?
It matters the world.
That is what, that is why.
