What can I do now?

It's out of our control

And so we'll sit and watch

As a despicable man

Takes

And takes

And takes

"Stay strong" 

"Don't give up"

"There's power in silence."

At least that's what they say

But what will happen on

January 20th,

Inauguration day?

"The fight is not over"

Then tell me what I can do 

NOW

Because sitting and staying silent,

Feels anything but strong.

  • A toast to dreams

    I wish for a day where my dreams do not change for each day of the week.

    But perhaps I do not.

    Because some days I wish for a future where I am always busy something, in a city that sleeps even less than I do.

  • More Cowbell

    We cheer and shake our cowbells, waving at passing cars. 

    Sometimes they roll down their windows, clapping and cheering back.

    Sometimes they roll their eyes and look away, avoiding eye contact.
