"Everybody's Talkin' at Me" - Contretemps

I cannot bring myself to a state of contentment living 
with the wrongs in the world.

I cannot just ignore, go about my day, pretend that everything is perfect, 
as planned, going well.

I cannot sit on my hands, silence my mouth, or still my thoughts 
when there is work to be done.

Minds must be opened, opinions must be changed; truth must resonate.

Words can kill, sicken, maim as much as disease, bullets, or blades

I want peace, joy, release…but

I am angry and I will not be silent!
