DESPERATE TIMES

Heart pounding

Gut wrenching

Head spinning

Palms sweating

Hands shaking

Ears ringing

Toe tapping

Earth crashing

Babies crying

Races dying

Children starving

Bombs and armies

Where to turn

Who really cares?

No time to speak out

WE MUST SCREAM!

INSULTED

He says I rant too much

Too many social justice lectures

Life is simpler

He doesn’t want to hear it

“Nobody wants to hear it!”

Most people don’t want to hear it

Even my family

Mind you,

Most of them are white-privileged, right-winged, Christian fascists!

We all walk…

Insulted
