Black Lives Matter
Today, I woke up to news of the United States being on the brink of martial law, while I was soundly asleep. While I’m living in comfort, people are out on the streets fighting for their lives and the lives of their neighbours.
Truth be told, I’m not sure what to right thing for me to do is, but I’m glad to see the world stand up in solidarity with the protesters. I’m not sure what to say, but I’m glad to see people vacating their platform to make room for those whose voices need to be heard. It’s the least I can do too.
I wanted to leave you with an excerpt from one of my favourite songs of all time, as these past few days its message has become more clear than ever.
Look back to the past, we hail from one caste
The division will not last
Defined by your skin, forget we share kin
We're torn apart
It feels as though we're sinking
I don't know how we'll get to shore again
Sinking, we'll surface through the waves
Torn Apart - Enter Shikari
