Please take your anger
and just walk away:
your righteousness is not a cure,
and injustice still prevails.
Please don’t diminish me,
in your rage:
you have no idea
who I am.
Please take your outrage
to someone
who cares less about the cause
you proclaim to espouse.
Please know you are right,
from your point of view,
and all others are wrong;
your chorus is off-key.
Please set aside your tantrum
and instruct, not berate,
people want to understand,
not through demonization.
Please take a breath or two:
breathe, and release:
we are not your enemies,
but travellers on tomorrow’s march.
