I cannot control your blind eyes to see me as human, even when you see me behind these bars.
I am a man, a friend, a brother, a son, a husband, an uncle, a cousin, a co-worker, a volunteer, and a human.
Society doesn’t like what it cannot control, so I challenge you to think harder and deeper than those that only see my skin.
The world is changing, and it’s not for the better; however, the ball is in your court to control the narrative around the peacefulness and unification of the human species.
Follow me and gain the proper level of control in a country full of division for I can lead the way, and I welcome you to join me on a journey of humanitarianism.
We are all one.

‘Society doesn’t like what it cannot control.’ How true. And fear is at the basis of so much that is wrong in our world.
Powerful writing, EM.

Fear is a pervasive poison that, of late, seems to be continuously disseminated in copious amounts. Which leads to ignorance. A lethal combination. I agree with you EM, each of us possesses the power to change the narrative.

Thanks so much for your comment, Girlie! I pray we can change the narrative, but history always repeats itself, sadly.
