Well?
(The 33 dead refers to the VMU 2007 shooting of students. It should be noted that no one's personal loss is trival.)
Polar bears are drowning!
Liars! They cry…
There's no global warming
*Switch the channel *
Oh God!
33 dead.
What the ____'s wrong with us?
Every 7 seconds today
A woman was raped
Every10 seconds today
A woman died from
domestic violence
Combined
Today
12,342 women in our country
were beaten, raped, and murdered
today
since 33 people died
as many women in our country
were beaten, raped, and murdered
as those who died on 911, in Iraq and Vietnam combined
*switch the channel *
The polar bears are drowning
And we don't realize
That we're next…
Where the ____
Are our priorities?
We need to open our eyes
Before we realize our greed
And lifestyles
Created our own
Mass genocide.
If you're not outraged
You're not paying attention
Or you've been properly programmed
To be a “good American.”
Who are you?
Upset over 33?
Or Outraged that
More women today
Were murdered, raped and beaten
Than those that died on 911 times 12…
Are 33 more valuable
Than 12,000?
Where the ____ are our priorities?
Well?
