Here’s to a better world
Here’s to the end of whataboutism
The end of “my black friend says”
The end of they must have done
Something to deserve it
The end of police being allowed
To do anything they want
Arrest anyone they want
Murder anyone they want
Here’s to the start of justice for all
Real justice — not the two sided system
That we all live with now
To starting to see everyone as people
To starting to believe what we claim
To defining the world with love
Instead defining it with hate
To speaking up, to showing up
To making the world better
Here’s to demilitarization of police
Of our country, of the world
To the end of big budgets for killing
But virtually nothing for saving
To understanding that children
Learn from what we do, what we say
To teaching them that breaking rules
Is ok if the rule is unequally applied
