More Said than Done
In this day and in this hour,
Let us not forget, much less accept!
This groutesque occurence
We somehow forsaw but still allowed.
No tears are enough,
Nor do I know the words,
That calm the souls
Of those who so much lost.
Calm won't be found in words,
For no language has enough
When what truly matters
is how we resist from moving on.
Those in power
They claim to help,
But stepping on eggshells
They always refuse to change.
The silent motions,
Excrutiating to the ear.
And the normality of it all
A reason to fear.
"Of course we care"
"For sure we'll change"
And instead of moving right
We only seem to move left.
In a black mirrored society
How easy have we made
All this chaos possible,
Chaos we now must reverse.
Incentives to drown the guilt?
Those are never shortseen.
And with an opaque conscience
They all fall asleep.
It's no longer about "If" simply about "when"
And now more than ever,
Now it's when we say...
ENOUGH!
This was inspired by what happened recently in Miami, Florida. It's time for action in the right direction.
