We give up far too easily

Why do people get so discouraged
�about political action? You take vitamin
�pills and imagine they do something.
�You don’t say, I’ll never wash dishes
�again because they just get dirty.

�

We all mumble silly prayers
�into the air, Oh please don’t let
�me miss the plane, Oh please let
�him call me back. We never count
�times our wishes deflate as futile.

�

Inaction certainly will work fine
�for the overlords who own our work,
�control our lives, consider us
�collateral loss in their grand schemes.
�They only fear masses in motion.

�

A little at a time is the way forward
�an unending dance two steps forward
�and one and a half back. Sitting
�on your ass too long just makes
�you one. We’re only what we’ve tried.
