I want a revolution
that feels like spring
an absolute rebirth
transformation from death
I crave a revolt
that feels like raindrops
on a 98° summer day
one that satiates
thirsty plants
I want the people to rise
like a red and orange morning sky
reflecting in dew drops
on a swaying blade of grass
singing, not screaming
that this is our land
our lullaby of resistance
this is our home
let us stand and
refuse the terror
being inflicted upon us
by bloodied hands claiming peace
I wish that revolutions
came from kindness
but I've only ever seen success
from the ones with violence
not the ones with dreams

To My Dearest Girl
To my dearest girl: In this world, there is no rush to find a partner. There is no need to rush into a relationship or give your heart away. Entrusting your life to yourself is more stable and reassuring than entrusting it to anyone else.

So true! If only kindness could be used instead of bullets
