𝐈 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 (first post!!)

One thing I find oddly romantic...

Is how I continue to live.

All over the world, prices are rising.

People are dying.

The rich are abusing their power

at the expense of everyone else.

As I write, a bomb is destroying someone's home.

Somewhere, a child is pregnant

with no way of aborting;

A boy is shot by a cop

because his skin isn't white;

A person is crying

Because their family has been kidnapped.

And yet, I get up from my bed every morning,

put socks on,

eat biscuits for breakfast.

Still, I go to class,

speak to my friends,

do my homework.

Despite everything, I water my plants,

take walks outside

and type things on my phone.

I wish there was something I could press.

Like a shiny red button

to reset humanity

and stop every war

and let people live in peace.

This is until I realise

that my very existence

is an act of rebellion.

In spite of those who want my demise, I live.

They may be cruel to me and to us,

but that isn't a cause for me to cease living;

It hurts, but it doesn't kill me.

Against all odds,

I live.

Not just Ukraine,

Not just Taiwan,

Not just Palestine and Israel

Because no one, both ethically and nationally, deserves to suffer.

No one.

KEEP EYES ON CONGO 🇨🇩

Hello everyone, I would like to remind you that there are entire cities/countries worth of people living in displacement, danger and slavery in Congo, yet there is little to no media coverage - and the majority of people speaking for Congo are Congolese themselves. Which shows you how little the world cares about Congo.

Every phone, laptop and car is made with the blood and tears of Congolese men, women and children. The amount of people unaware of this is appalling, there needs to be more awareness about Congo.

Congo is one of the richest countries in the world, yet its people are in poverty and slavery. Many western countries and neighbouring countries of Congo want Conglese minerals and resources. The Congo Basin is one of Africa's largest rainforests. If this areas is destroyed then it will have irreversible and catastrophic concesquences for the environment. And yet many companies still mine there.

HERE is an in depth post I made about Congo, please give a read, some constructive feedback, and any more information you would like to add, please pay attention to Congo.
