Haikus on Email Activism

by Karen Gsteiger

I'm a bleeding-heart

liberal but feel slightly

overwhelmed with spam.


If you support one

progressive group, you'll hear from

them all, most likely.


I can't possibly

care about all these causes

equally. Sorry.


Although it does not

take much to guilt me into

some form of action.


I send form emails

to Congresspeople. I'm sure

the interns love it.


I will make awkward

phone calls to politicians

when I REALLY care.


I enjoy trying

to save the world during an

average workday.
