Outrage Fatigue
Aaron Gutierrez
I have seen the light of resistance fading
I have seen crowds gathered in protest thinning
The weight of their actions
Like a mother smothering her child
Each ounce of pressure
Another human loss
A further mounting cost
A conflicted heart
Historic abhorrence
Malicious ignorance
Their ideals: extremist
Our justice: imminent
Our violence: overdue
Circuit board
Overloaded
Overburdened
Too many lights
Too many fires
Too many pyres
We stumble on
So blindly wired
So blindly tired
Another day
Another roadblock
Another cellblock
Another day
Your hatred is printed in white and red
The victims will flay you in broad daylight
