State of the Union

It's ok to just be okay

The commodification of black death taints a nation

Videos of police brutality leaves folks with ptsd

Left and right wings push their fallacies

One side says the victim deserved the tragedy

Other side says think of the casualty and their families

One side says maybe folks should be more respectable

Other side says the authority needs to be more responsible

How about actual progressive policies

Attack the things that cause poverty

Elect actual bipartisan politicians instead of apathetic profit-icians

Push normality instead of meritocracy and exceptionalism

The trappings of chasing extra-ordinary causes a mind schism

It's ok to just be okay

Enjoy the small things assorted chocolates and fresh smell of the ocean spray
