You hear the jokes,
But you don't laugh.
You see their actions,
But you don't want to interfere.
You touch the letters on your keyboard,
But you don't want to get in the way.
The truth is, you're not as neutral as you think.
We need allies,
True allies.
We need allies that aren't afraid to step in and help,
Or to speak up,
Or to openly claim they're on our side
If, that is, you are really on our side?
Why is it so difficult for you?
To say you're one of us?
To start defending those you care about,
And to stop pretending to be so Switzerland.
What are you most worried about,
The person you want to be,
Or how you want to be perceived?
So you can stay in the middle,
While my own have each other's backs.
Just know that between left and right,
The middle is neither.
Speak loudly with us,
Or don't speak at all.
LOVE IS LOVE.
BLACK LIVES MATTER.
WE NEED ALLIES,
TRUE ALLIES.
OR NONE AT ALL.
