Quotes

“All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”
Edmund Burke, 1791

Our history as mankind

Sadly,

Is not a pretty one.

Blood in the dark woods and waters turned red,

Tiered doves crying above smoke filled clouds

Where are all the good men?

Animals crying and people dieing,

Religion embracing hearts,

And religion removing hearts

Where are all the good men?

Love prevented

Love imprisoned

Love enforced

Where are all the good men?

Wars over single women

Wars over what exists after our souls are free

Wars on drugs

Where are all the good men?

So evil lurks,

Among us like snakes in the thick African prairies

Rwanda

World war II

Native American Genocide,

The boy who could not take his boyfriend to prom…

Where are all the good men?

So define evil…

My evil is probably a completely different color from yours.

But what color evil is,

Where it sleeps at night

Who it pulls

Pushes

Aches for, does not matter

What matters is our voice

The song of justice and truth

Evil exists whether we wish it or not,

But we must notice it, embrace change, and push forward.

We have the power to create good

Where are all the good men?

They need to wake up!

Wake up and smell the blood!
