A Cast Into the Veil

From their culture of disregard and dismissal of violence and school shootings,

To their promotion and policies of exploitation of people and the earth.

To their thin-skinned incessant demands for the right to spew hate and venom at others, while at the same time demanding subservience of yours. 

We stand in opposition to that; we stand with family, friends, and neighbors. 

We stand and yell for those that can't speak because of obligation, or circumstance, or fear.

We yell three times louder.

We are actual human beings.

Make no mistake, they see us. 

And They fear us. 

They cannot define themselves without trying to tear us down. 

They cannot describe their future without the hope of denying ours.  

They cannot image a world without us, because hate always needs a victim.

And now we see all of them.
