The protests

There’s something to say about how people act 

As if they don’t have enough crimes they have packed, 

Into their minds to become forgotten quickly 

Surely, they know that their acts are sickly.  

The people who protest are doing it right 

Standing and marching night after night. 

Leaders are helping while others are not 

Remember respect is earned and not bought.
