Speak

It’s odd that I live somehwere where democracy is falling, fascism is rising, and people are suffering. The opposition party useless. They only care about themselves. The elite.

And here we are, watching in horror as people are kidnapped randomly in broad daylight, disappearing, all because of the color of the skin. Countries are being invaded because, I don’t even know. And more and more money is being siphoned from the poor, the middle class, the upper middle class, and gravitated to the top.

We protest, we yell. But nobody does anything.

I get how people can just let fascism take over, turn a blind eye, because they are not effected. It’s only when the price of eggs, gas goes up a few cents that people sleepily mutter something about it but forget as soon as the next atrocity takes place.

And yet…

Life moves on. Work is work. I get it now. Everything is fine. It’s so strange, so unsettling. Everything that’s happening is happening to everybody else, not me, not my family.

I get that this fork in the road is a choice, do I care or do I not care? Caring requires work, energy, time. Not caring costs nothing(but your soul).

I care. I just wish more people did. I have no control over that.

I’m not sure what I’m getting at with this post, or what my intent is. I’m just yelling to tell everybody that I’m here, I care, I exist.

I’m human, not AI. Something I’ll write about later I’m sure.
