People Say...

They don’t care.
They’re not involved or don’t want to get involved,
but they are.
Their involvement just masquerades as indifference or inattention.
It is the silent “acquiescence” of the millions that supports the system,
your silence becomes approval,
for it does nothing to interrupt the system.
People use all sorts of excuses for their indifference.
They appeal to god as a shorthand route for supporting the status quo.
They talk about law and order,
but look at the present system,
look at the present social order of society.
Do you see god?
Do you see law and order?
There’s nothing but disorder,
and instead of law and order there is only the illusion of security.
It’s an illusion because it is built upon a long history of injustices;
racism, criminality and enslavement and genocide of millions.
Many people say it is insane to resist the system,
but actually, it’s insane not to.
