Rape and relocation in Congo and Sudan
Human degradation: Yemen, Pakistan
Carnage in Aleppo; war in the Levant
This dissonance inside me—I don't know what I want
Violence. Oppression.
=
Silence. Depression.
I feel so fucking guilty for being unfulfilled
While people the world over are getting fucking killed
Sisters and my brothers—murdered in the street
While apathy and ennui are pooling at my feet!
Religion’s not the answer!
And money’s not the answer!
And drugs are not the answer!
There is no fucking answer!
This violence is a cancer!
My mind is a disaster!
I’m dying for an answer!
There is no fucking answer!
