So many atrocities, so much pain,
too many to number, to fathom,
their pain, this story, this truth,
again and again, too much…
We turn our eyes from their evil,
not wanting to become involved,
feeling we are impotent, unable,
to help, to do anything in this time…
We are too easily distracted, unfocused,
too easy to turn away, to be passive,
to switch the channel, to scroll away,
putting our heads in the sand...
We must cry out, “Enough!”
This madness must end,
crying for the people,
“Russia cannot win!”

“Can someone explain how does one move on with their
Saturday after reading that Russians burned alive an
entire family in Kharkiv last night?
How do they read about it, shrug, and continue existing,
without giving a single fuck?
How can people still be passive at this point?”
