That Moment
There is a timeThere is a place
There is a moment
When it is known
When it is understood
When it becomes certain
What a mission is
What a role is
What beliefs say
In recent realization
In recent history
In a time of rights destruction
Say it out loud
Say what is witnessed
Say none of it’s ok
Where incompetence is celebrated
Where science is defamed
Where truth is heresy
Compliance is demanded
Compliance is expected
Compliance is a sacred pact
Speaking denial of deliberate lies
Speaking against oligarchs erasing
Speaking what is erased
Following data and trends
Following uninhibited instincts
Following historic patterns
Ignoring published media
Ignoring its Goebbels paranoia
Ignoring its propaganda
Refuse compliance
Refuse acceptance of policies
Refuse toxic behaviors
Intimidation no longer impacts
Intimidation diminishes when time is up
Intimidation by denial death squads
Defiance is what is left
Defiance in silent loud acts
Defiance to impotent anger
