Response-ability


I don't understand why people feel the need

To express their pain in the way they tend to

Belittling others, strinking them down

Why is the only way to express anger by getting mad at another?

When you have something to say about an institution, a mindset, a specific, 

Speak about the issues and the causes, don't spread the hate onto those that cause it

It only fuels the starved fire that lights their argument

When you tell someone that they are horrid for being hateful,

They blame those words for their hate

There has to be another way

Something else that we can say

Please stand, please fight, please make us all what we're meant to be

Just don't increase the insanity of the opposing
