Violence.Such a vague term


Violence.

Such a vague term

Violence… Violence. ViolenceViolenceviolenceviolenceviolence.

So often said… So often unsaid

Why?

Why are they afraid to stand up for themselves?

Why am I afraid to stand up for myself?

Is it because we have been

raised to believe that we are at

Fault?

Do we claim GUILT because there

seems to be NO OTHER WAY OUT?

 

Change.

Such a broad oppurtinity.

Change... Cha-a-a-a-ange.

A shift or transformation.

Why not?

Why don't we encourage others to speak up?

Why don't I make the noise?

I will.

WE

shall.

 

Violence...

Change...

One change.

Eliminate Violence and free the victims.

Free all of us.

Stop the cycle.

 

Speak up
