Dear violence,

I have so many things to ask you.
I know that most people won't even talk to you. And I get it. But I just can't understand you.
What do you love about hate?
What do you hate about love?
Is it fear? Are you scared?
Do you know you're dangerous to my liberty? Dangerous to our liberty?
I define my skin as resilient, but you want to change that to a weapon.
And I define my peers religion as diverse, but you want to make that into a weapon.
You appear to die, but are reborn in new form, as time goes by.
Reinvented, just changing your name.
Slavery, war, profiling, bigotry, brutality, mass incarceration, terrorism.
How could you watch me cry and be quiet?
How do you watch me die and be silent?
You are dedicated, so dedicated.
But I don't think you'll be around much longer.
That's why I'm talking to you now.
Unfortunately for you, I believe the people can do anything.
The people can do anything.
Love can do anything.
Thank you.

Josh Levi
