You will be told to keep it down.
You will be called edgy, angry, reckless, dangerous, misinformed.
You will be warned to think before you speak,
but the only ones worrying about your volume will be those who fear your voice.
Truth is treated as noise by those who live
securely behind their own proof of lies.
We’ve been told who to hate,
we’ve been told who to trust,
we’ve been told when to mourn,
we’ve been told what to fear.
And with each order, they’ve made the world quieter, emptier, and easier to control.
A country where anger, grief, heartbreak, and dissent are classified as symptoms instead of signals.
Turn it up until they know your name.
Shatter the windows.
Wake the neighbors.
They tell us to be disarmed.
Let’s make sure they can’t sleep
