What can I do
What can I say
To make you sway
To make you stew
Enough to make a call
Advocate for morality
Champion humanity
A measure so small
If we all turn a blind eye
Looked the other way
Not a word we say
Letting the time fly
Maybe the atrocities will go away
Maybe another story will consume
Sweep our emotions like a broom
Escape from our mind in a day
There are so many atrocities
You say to me
Too many for me to see
Who am I to influence policies
Neutrality helps the oppressor
Never the victim
Silence is a symptom
Silence assists the tormentor
Do something say something
Speak to your friend
Speak to no end
It starts by communicating
