I notice that grin
We notice that grin
They catch that grin upon your cheeks
Young ones weep
Young ones howl
We notice that grin on your cheeks
We watch your joy
We hear your praise
Taking them away every day
You watch them sob
You look away
Soon, they‘ll strike your cheek
Match their steps
Hold your tongue
Just to live your life

“Race prejudice is not only a shadow over the colored—it is a shadow over all of us, and the shadow is darkest over those who feel it least and allow its evil effects to go on“

Don't say you're not because you are
History tells us that you are

“I hate and fear the human race, I loathe people who have never done me any wrong, I see them always hating each other.”

“When Christianity is used as a means to an end — especially a political end — it ceases to be Christianity. It becomes just another badge for tribal identity“

You can‘t reason someone out of a position they didn‘t reason themselves into.

It was nice to be around people fighting fascism, oligarchy, and for basic human decency. Solidarity with all those who went out today.

Now that the smoke's gone
And the air is all clear
Those who were right there
Got a new kind of fear
You fight and you were right
But they were just too strong
They stick it in your face
And let you smell what they consider wrong

Pay no mind what other voices say
They don't care about you, like I do
Safe from pain & truth & choice & other poison devils
See, they don't give a fuck about you, like I do
Just stay with me, safe and ignorant
Go back to sleep, go back to sleep
Lay your head down child
I won't let the boogeyman come
Count the bodies like sheep
To the rhythm of the war drums
Go back to sleep

Starting the tagged book today. My gods, they‘re such an inspiration for the ways that I will never choose to be.
