Imagine

You saw the news today but you pretend you were never on that channel You hear others talk about the deaths but the signs of it being gossip is everywhere Your mind switches from what is happening Instead of looking at the weapon pointed at a child's head you look at the issues of the politics instead You could be out there throwing your heart out with words but you stay inside watching the court decide on whether tiktoc is what makes the world burn Mabey we are the problem We also have to blame the most wanted instead of blaming the least expected Instead of looking the shootings in the eye you blame the teachers for not being quick enough Or the students for being too loud Do what you need to be happy is what you think instead of helping the wounded that is all around Mabey if you spoke your mind instead of paying a dollar or two for a cause at the store thinking that it will be enough for the pained You don't have to be a hero but atleast you can be an adult
