Staying  stagnant ruins laundry,
and lives.
Being set in stone skewed the visions and values of our own children,
And crushed the hopes they insured.
Stillness can destroy a country;
Or a world.

This stagnancy,
Held leaders captive just long enough to be too late,
This stillness took the past and murdered our future,

Giving us no chance to move on.

The past protested but was silenced by the overwhelming percent of people who
Just didn't care.
Politics and hypocrisy went hand and hand
and grew together.

1% pushed the dreamers down while only .5% of the population of humanity
called them out,
while 98.5% of people tried to ignore it.

The future is screaming for peace.
Dreams were killed,
Values were skewed,
And there was no hope to be felt.

The future is screaming for peace,
But it was already too late.
