    Protest! They strip you bare.
    Protest! They foul your air.
    Protest! Your bruises hurt.
    Protest! Your face is dirt.

    • Protest sometimes isn’t enough, especially not when faced with such horrors. -Curt

      • Sadly, I agree – I live in England, we’re all affected by Trump, Iran, Israel, all the cruel rhetoric on all sides, but I so hope America overthrows your President soon. Only thru a public uprising, it seems, can normality be restored in The States. HJx

    • Girl this is something. Protest to be heard but who is even listening? they keep doing the damage. This is good

      • It’s borne out of my frustration at The World, Fia. The Devil, threatening to wipe out a civilization using foul-mouthed rhetoric only makes life worse for all of us, bluffing or not. The Devils on the other side are just as bad, if not worse -putting to death 30,000 innocent protestors. Pray we all move to Peace, soon, girl. Take Good Care of…Read More

    Do not worry
    if you shall fall and forget.
    Tomorrow always comes.

    Breathe
    Occupy space inside with other things
