What can I do now?

It's out of our control

And so we'll sit and watch

As a despicable man

Takes

And takes

And takes

"Stay strong" 

"Don't give up"

"There's power in silence."

At least that's what they say

But what will happen on

January 20th,

Inauguration day?

"The fight is not over"

Then tell me what I can do 

NOW

Because sitting and staying silent,

Feels anything but strong.

  • I do not understand

    I do not understand how some people choose to live in ignorance of the world around them

    Ignorance is not bliss

    It is deciding that you do not care to know about the struggles of others

  • WTH, world

    Black and white

    The conflict the world can't seem to get over

    Why can't we all just be people?

    This is no difficult task, to accept others

  • Every Single One

    The sky is not falling

    Chicken Little went home

    I wish this corrupted land was not my home

    The politicians flew too close to the sun

    I have now learned how a cheeto can run

    The sky is falling
