today i sat
in my living room
and i clicked
and typed
and clicked
and typed
and clicked
and typed
and then i found something.
something that would change me.
something that is changing the world.
it began as a group of men
marching peacefully.
carrying flags
and speaking their beliefs.
young and old came together
for one reason-
to defend their rights
as man.
they walk past palm trees
and tall city buildings,
on the streets that were once
their daily commute to work.
they come to a barricade
and are the army wastes no time.
they are fired at.
all hell breaks loose.
men fall,
men cry,
men run,
men die.
i'm still sitting in my living room.
