This Horror Must End!
I have friends who are personally affected by all of this who have lived things I’ve never lived, didn’t even know happened to people like me, except for one little thing didn’t even know it happened in the Great White North but I learned today, talking with my Mom, that it did our shared friends endure things of which we have no idea and hearing was shocked, that friends knew such a thing and I learned today, talking with a friend, that it also did whose default words were to defend the blackened blue and hearing was shocked, that one could say such a thing and this evening I enjoy my safe and comfortable home I know that tomorrow each one of my children will be safe and I weep, knowing that other parents do not know this have no idea if these lights are the last they’ll ever see or if they’ll have the chance to be afraid of them again and the only reason, the very only reason, is that our skin is more different than too many evil minds can accept and all I can do is write these words no one ever reads and even if they did am not such a man as to move worlds like those on whom the world waits its bated breathing I have no power to make good what must be made good there is no switch within my reach to turn this horror off but my neighbours, my friends, my strangers, are hurting and those on whom the world waits its bated breathing who could, if they tried, change the world for the better
won’t
but my neighbours, my friends, my strangers, are hurting for no other reason but that those who have the power for no other reason but that those who reach the switch won’t do anything, are too frightened, or much too evil to do a thing, anything at all, to help those who, like me just want to be able to enjoy safe and comfortable homes sleep unworried that tomorrow their children will be safe who just want to live as God allows, yet who, unlike me,
can’t
yet if these who can won’t make things good, others must if enough of us try, maybe some of us will have the power if enough of us try, maybe some of us can reach the switch if those who can and should make things better won’t do it it falls to us to end this horror, on us to make life better as
we can
