I normally write about love and heartbreak
But then I have decided to take a different route

It took one man to change the thinking of my fellow citizens
So it took one video to open the minds of people
I guess at the back of people's minds they knew that
they were suffering but they were just too scared
Now I'm not a violent person
But for the past week my mind has been telling me to write this
The reason why people aren't standing up is because
They are afraid of being beaten up or being arrested
My dad was telling me that in the 1970s
When he was in university
They would take it to the streets protesting against the terrorists
That were taking away their freedom
Now I've got a feeling that in ten years time
Something bad is going to unfold
