The time is here
Time for change
We need...
No...demand
for things to change.

but.....if you are out there
Stealing....burning....destroying
Then you are part of the problem.

That's what "they" want us to do.
They'll focus on the chaos
Distract with the anger
  
Then.....they bury it and move on
Nothing changes, suffering continues
The rich stay rich, poor stay poor
Black stays last.

Is that what we want to leave our children?
The same thing we had?
Or do we want to make it better?

Rosa Parks was a regular person
Living her life....
Then she decided, "No more"

We need to be like those before us
We need leaders to lead like they did
Those that made a difference!

Who will be part of the solution?
We need to stand united
We must decide what side of history
will we be on.
Can the great among us please stand up!
because....

The time is here
Time for change.
this is all over the place....I have so much to say, it all gets jumbled.  I was thinking about the incredible people in history that stood for good and fought for equal rights and how badly we need them now.
