I’m not gonna sit here and watch my people die just for the sake of
‘Being Safe’
Safe doesn’t feel safe anymore
It feels like a guess
It feels like a test
It makes me feel useless, as though I get enough rest
My brothers
My sisters
Crying themselves to sleep
Because even we can’t make a single peep
We wait and wait for that dreadful beep,
because our symbol of peace gets as much sleep as we
So no, safe doesn’t feel safe anymore
It’s just reassurance until we drop to the floor
