Inertia Creeps by Massive Attack
Remember, remember, the 5th of November….
The anticipation is palpable. The outcome is still uncertain. There isn’t anyway to gauge what will happen. We like to think that hope will pull us through, it will stand as a beacon lighting its way through the darkness that the last few years have seemed to descend upon our country. I don’t know.
This is the stance we have had to have for, well for as long as I can remember.
But at what point does that anticipation, that nervousness becomes to much to bear. At what point are we supposed to take more direct action.
I march, I protest, I make those around me a focus of all the information I come across. Choices cannot be decided for my own selfish needs, choices need to be made for all. Why have we forgotten that…
…did we ever really take that into consideration?
I know this song is supposed to be about a self-destructive relationship… but isn’t that what we’re in. We have bore witness to the slip of our democracy and the onset of the republic. Was this what our ancestors paid the ultimate price for. Would they be damning us if they knew the complacency most of us fall victim to, or is everything “good enough?” Just because I do not need, does that mean I should care for those who do? I don’t know anymore, but I know I still have the energy in myself to question, to push, to yell, and do what I can to help propel a better resolution.
