My First Mentor text is a tweet in which I followed the format of when I went to create my tweets.
I chose this mentor text because you are very quickly oppressed when it comes to weed-out classes. It ties into what my community is like with problems of people trying to restrict people from becoming Designers. The poem also teaches you a way to compose your feelings more vibrantly.
To the Oppressors
BY PAULI MURRAY
Now you are strong
And we are but grapes aching with ripeness.
Crush us!
Squeeze from us all the brave life
Contained in these full skins.
But ours is a subtle strength
Potent with centuries of yearning,
Of being kegged and shut away
In dark forgotten places.
We shall endure
To steal your senses
In that lonely twilight
Of your winter’s grief.
