What Now?

Social injustice, income inequality, systemic racism, war on drugs, a government ruled by money that refuses (at least on one side) to govern, a faux constitutional right to have guns (mostly brought about by money ruling government), 24/7 news which reports on the controversy instead of facts (fanning flames of fear and hatred)  and the militarization of our police force (and corresponding increase in violence against citizens)…is this what America is now? When people lose faith in the system of government, what is left? Have we created our own terrorists?

Gil Scott-Heron was wrong. The revolution will be televised, brother.
