They say silence is golden…
I say…sometimes it’s RED!
Like rage over the spilled blood of innocents
And justice remaining unserved.
I say… evil creeps under the cover of darkness
And wickedness wins when the good stay quiet while failing to act!
I say… we strip malevolence bare and drag it into the burning sun where even those who choose not to look would be forced to see
I say… now is not the time for silence.

a Heart on the matter 
We wear our silence like a security blanket, hiding from the monsters under the bed.
We need to be brave, to take a stand, consequences be damned.
Maybe we’ll find the monsters were only in our heads…
I default to quiet observation. I have been forcing myself to be louder. It’s hard at times, especially when I’m around my family. I can’t risk putting them in danger with my words even if it is them I would be speaking up for…

Sweet Matt, I get it! It is scary. I’m scared every day. It’s often dangerous to speak up. It shouldn’t be but it is. I have been silent out of fear when I wanted to scream. I speak in my writing space and I scream at the ballot box. I’m on the look out for opportunities to do more whatever that might be. Hugs
