Note: On April 2, 2019 Chicago will elect its 1st Black female mayor into office (out of 14 potential candidates).
This duel between this duo inspired the following poem.
Dear Future Mayor,
(For Toni Preckwinkle and Lori Lightfoot)
Dear future mayor,
You silenced all the naysayers,
Win or lose,
Individually or collectively,
Stand tall and claim the “victory,”
For re-writing the windy city’s history
And changing the status quo
Of century-old politics
Here in Chicago,
By advancing in the mayoral race,
You have given power
A different face,
Inspiring women,
Inspiring women of color,
Baby boomers,
And future generations,
Changing the trajectory
Of their life station,
Instigating
New conversations,
And your story
Becomes our glory,
And in its unfolding
You confirm that our voices deserve
To be heard,
So no matter what the outcome,
When all is said and done,
After April one,
It remains resoundingly clear,
That there are no “losers” here!
