Something Going On

When you hear me talk of revolution
and the changes that must take place
I mean, we need to find the solution
to put humanity back into the human race

We’re so quick to point our finger
when we see what’s happening in our land
We will let our anger boil and linger
yet we’re too afraid to extend our hand

We’ve let prejudice and violence
through complacency become the norm’
But if we continue to stand alone in silence
then we will surely perish in the storm

So right Deb. Sometimes people are so afraid of what others will say that they remain silent.

A revolutionary piece not to be taken lightly.

Thank you TS. When it comes to revolutions, nothing should ever be taken lightly.
