on the occasion of the city having fallen to the forces of evil, and there being no hope left among the people Jul 30, 2022

in every person you hate
beats a heart the same as yours
gleams a mind the same as yours
and the moment you say they are different
you are lost

we carry so much tangled up inside our heads
make such a big deal
about a bunch of atoms

you want things to be different?
stop daring the world to get worse

your neighbors are starving
you haven't smiled at them in years
