PAD Challenge Day 20: No Really Means No

PAD Challenge Day 20: Write a "No blank" poem.

No Really Means No

No.
One small word.
Two little letters 
One consonant...one vowel
Big versatility but
simple to echo &
far from being a short  
meaning for 
Not Sure,
Maybe, 
Try Again, 
Think About It
in the absence of 
what you want present.

So, 
the next time,  
he, she or they say:
No to unwanted advances 
because no means no;

No to dope because 
it comes with no hope;

No H8 because 
love is love; &
its getting closer 
to losing its way;

No MORE 
because we had 
enough...
seen enough 
murder-suicides & 
domestic violence;

Vote NO 
to the pyramid schemes 
& power grabs from
congressional map flipping;

Vote NO again 
to save the Acts 
from the hands 
of those acting, 
faking like they care;

Say No King because 
only Jesus is a real King!

Say no 
because 
it really means 
what it means: 
NO!

Now, I know what it means to lose a best friend and sister in one. I lost the first person I felt comfortable calling her a big sister. A person I talked to everyday by call or text. I lost a person who taught me so many things: foster and maintain healthy relationships, setting boundaries, importance of grief therapy (after losing my father), the importance of financial stability/investing, understanding politics (even if you disliked it) and government. She was really the smartest woman I knew. I miss knowing what to expect in the next year, in politics and government because of her. She never failed. This year, she truly got it right again…about everyone in office. This loss was unexpected and painful. It was nothing compared to the many deaths of loved ones in the previous year(s). I w...
