I understand hate
I understand violence
I am not ignorant
I am not alone
I have a voice
I will speak out
Against…
We are headed in the wrong direction
Everywhere
We stare at our phones
We stare at our computers
We stare at our TV’s
Yet we do not stare at each other
This is not a video game
This is not a reality show
These are real people
With real families
Quotes and poems are fine
Our words need to tell the story
Of what is happening
Right in front of our eyes
Get out of the pool
Stop stuffing hot dogs
Down your throat
No gym or yoga
Or spreadsheets at work
Will save us
Stop worrying about
What your friends are doing
Or how you can make a buck
Think about what is happening
It's frightening
It's not a movie
It's not a cheap novel
It's not the universe talking to you
It's fear hate and anger
It's people protesting
Against the rulers of the world
For being assholes
For selling us all
Like cheap dime store trinkets
It's our food our health
Our children's future
It's refugees sleeping in tents
Surrounded by barbed wire
And the world saying
We don't want you
They only want to go home
But there is no one to protect
Them from being slaughtered
While we shoot each other
And bitch about our rights
We have no rights
Other than the ones we are
Allowed to have
Because we cannot control
Our greed and lust
Never have never will
It's human nature
It's why we have religions
And prophets to keep us all afraid
Of going to hell if we are bad
Or go to heaven if we kill our enemies
While children starve
We dine on filet mignon
While the water becomes undrinkable
We keep pissing in it
With our chemicals
While the air becomes unbreathable
We keep clogging it up with our fumes
We are all guilty
There is no one pure
There is no politician going to save us
There is no savior
There is only us
As fucked up and fallible as we are
We are the answer
All we have to save ourselves
Is each other
I am not the first
To speak or write these words
But I am writing them anyway
Because in order to understand
I write
I will continue to say it, I will not apologize for rambling.
Love is the answer, we are all connected.
Much Love and Peace
