Scream from the hills, scream from the streets, scream to educate.

The walls will listen, the floor will listen, the concrete will listen.

Someone higher up will judge, the crowds will be polarized, 

the gold will flow through your cause.

They will say “We don't take sides, 

we just want to make sure everyone has a safe experience.” 

They’ll push the lens off them, 

what they have done, 

how they hurt them, 

hurt us. 

They’ll push these protests through their corporate machine, 

use these protests to improve their bottom line, 

use them as an excuse, 

and use it to fill the quota for revolution.

Struggling to respond to high-profile school shootings and a worsening mental health crisis. They push the issues they play a part in off to something else.

Once the dust settles, once the concrete calms, 

I will watch from my computer screen. 

Watch these companies push blame from them down to the crowd, 

watch them start the cycle all over again.

I, although infinitely small, see through these corporate concrete lies. 

I look around expecting to see people that see through them as well but instead see drones, 

the same that allowed this to happen and gave them money to fund these corporate lies.
