Elucidating Questions

I have to ask but I know I’ll get no answer

Are you complicit in this genocide?

Oh it’s been bothering me since the beginning but as it just gets worse

As the world watches on

Goading on the colonizer

We are reaching a time where I can’t support anyone who doesn’t support the colonized

It’s been bothering me

And you don’t take a stance on anything

Over the years

Not a peep about BLM or women’s right to choose or how terrible Trump was

What do you stand for?

Nothing on trans rights

A whole lot of

Keeping up the appearance of nothing

And really there is no point in asking because I’m already on the DNR list

As in reply not resuscitate

And as if you’d even make the effort to make it obvious

Start suddenly wearing watermelons all the time

Your silence isn’t going to defend you this time

Your waiting is just another child dead

Whose death you condoned

Do they sleep while I am awake?

Do they live a nightmare while I sleep

Dreaming of something easier than this?

My heart cannot take this

All this wasted life

Does anyone remember a time I wasn’t feeling overly responsible for the entire planet?

I don’t

Seriously if somebody wanted to give me super human healing powers and the ability to convince people to just listen for a minute I’d do it

This planet deserves better than us

And I can’t stay in this position of enabling excess and silence about important things

I already have enough not enough

Yet there are billions out there worse off than me

How does one excuse being rich on a planet like this?

How much longer am I going to wait for you to take a stand on something?
