Outspoken


Dear society,

After manifest occasions have presented themselves

It's finally time to push ourselves to be aware.

Never fear oppression or opposition.

When we try to be ambitious and levitate, they choose to increase tuition.

Let's also talk about when people say “You should’ve worn something less revealing or a longer dress”

But how would I have know that my clothes would change my no into a yes.

Do not fall into the manipulated language

Instead inject trepidation with knowledge.

Orwell said “If there's hope it lies in the proles”

In order for this to be genuine we need to see the abusive control.

People are persecuted, mistreated, and oppressed but we preach that liberty and justice is for all.

Subject to living under restrictions and stereotypes but men and women were created equal.

Justice is not provided for everyone but preconception, inequity, and corruption is.

Do not seek for a belief, just apply it

The depiction of a perfect society or system is only perfect in one’s imagination

A system of equality in knowledge and awareness is more pragmatic

To overcome abuse do not rebel against it.

First, be conscious and then responsive.

Yours truly, Crystal.
