If Not Now, When?

The OCD ridden

parliament and congress

spoke in foreign and cryptic

abbreviations of paranoida

As if to conseal

guilt of their invasion

into homes and minds

with the tight grip on

the media, alongside a

propagandical fundamentalistic

maniacal campaign

to control and domesticate

youthful minds

Heap professionalism and prejudice

onto the pyre of conformity

A peaceful protest by

free speech and thought

Rally + gather --

together we stand as

the most important potential

Let us march,

march straight to the

doorsteps of stagnant and

selfish legislators who

undermine education

as we combat the

oppression of ignorance without

bullets

we fight for the

beauty of curiosity without

fists

If not here where?

If not now when?

If not us who?
