White whispers represent chains Preventing change. The action of Inaction, Perpetuating that which we Deny. The sun of sin shining Dimly through The smog of society Seen By the few, Not nearly enough. “All lives matter” Conveniently, Fictitious feelings for a ‘flag’ Feigning support for Social inequalities. Politically correct where it Counts – Beyond the front door, Not behind. News headlines turn Silent dissenting into Violent lamenting. Willful ignorance is Deliberate destruction. The true tragedy, Behind. Closed. Doors.
