Additional quotes by June Jordan
I am the history of battery assault and limitless
armies against whatever I want to do with my mind and my body and my soul
We are the ones we've been waiting for.
And who will join this standing up
and the ones who stood without sweet company
will sing and sing
back into the mountains and
if necessary
even under the sea:
we are the ones we have been waiting for.
