Together

"Like” if you agree

does not create truth,

no matter how many

times/people do it.

Neither does it strengthen

the fabric of our society;

especially when vitriol

masquerades as victim.

What is right is rarely easy.

What is needed is seldom simple.

What is acceptable is

probably not enough.

When it is good for some,

at the expense of others,

it doesn't matter how long

it's been law or how long

we've been doing it,

 it needs to stop.

If we don't keep

ourselves in this together,

we will find ourselves

out of it, apart.
