I pledge resistance to the guns

And to the Republic, which sits on its hands,
One nation crying, “Oh my God!”,
Incomprehensible,
With bullets & heartache for all 🇺🇸

“But what can I do?”
If you’re a healer, heal.
If you’re a speaker, speak.
If you’re an artist, create.
If you’re an organizer, organize.
Do what you do.
But for any hope of a better world, do something.
If you’re a healer, heal.
If you’re a speaker, speak.
If you’re an artist, create.
If you’re an organizer, organize.
Do what you do.
But for any hope of a better world, do something.
