Mind?
I look in the mirror
I see a blank face
Two dark tired eyes
Boom!
The shell drops in his chest
Crash.
The doc said he wasn’t gonna make i-
Stop.
He’s already gone.
1 month.
2,000 innocent
The government did this
We all pay no mind.
No!
We can’t let you in
Take that rag off your head!
Speak English you pig!
This is the home of the brave and the free
But we’ll shoot you if you even think abou-
Help me! Please help me!
They took my family
Snatched my father from my arms
They laugh
“Uyghur should all -”
Die!
Die!
Kill!
Die.
Death to all
We don’t mind.
I look in the mirror.
A blank face
Two dark tired eyes
Refusing to let it all stand.
3 billion people in the world live in poverty.
The Syrian government kill their own children
America is free- if your skin is lighter than mine
And there is a genocide in China against all Muslims.
I get up every day because I mind-
When will you?
