Hear ye! Hear ye!
Enough! Enough! Enough!
Listen up, the world is rough
enough as it is.
You don't need to make it rougher
With your hatred and your racism.
The earthquakes in California shake my heart
And that's fine.
It's fine. I will cry with the children whose homes fell down
like cards
but i will not cry with those who are shot
in clubs, in schools, in churches,
for being black, for being queer, for being in the wrong place at the wrong time
I will scream with them
Scream with me
Scream at the populace and at yourselves
to stop, please for the love of god, stop
put down your torches and pitchforks
and for the love of god give Flint Michigan some goddamn water
and let boys wear skirts
Cry with me when volcanoes erupt and swallow the land beneath them
Cry with me when buildings topple
Cry with me when the little boy trapped in the rubble takes his last dusty breath
but don't you dare cry with the family whose sun took his last breath with a bullet
scream for them.
scream with me and make it stop
it works for toddlers doesn't it?
and since being a fucking toddler seems to be the only way to make it
scream with me
scream
enough. enough. enough.
