I Want to be a Human When I Grow Up


It's happening all around me,

right under my nose;

the repulsive actions of human monsters selling, exploiting, and destroying other humans.

I cannot continue to stand here 

and act as if there's nothing I can do 

to help.

Help: the only thing I can do.

Yet, why haven't I?

I could make a huge impact on this world, 

if only I could help.

There's organizations, hotlines, and awareness clubs, 

but I want to do more.

I want to end modern slavery.
