this is what war looks like

anti maskers

homo/bi/transphobes

racists

abelists

and us 

this is what war looks like

a battle of minds

snipers on the roofs

of our souls

BAM another Black person shot for walking down the street

BAM another of our LGBTQ brethren stoned for something we can't control

BAM another 400k people dead because some people think wearing a mask is stupid

BAM another tear from the eyes of the family of the person who died in a peaceful protest, doing nothing wrong

this is what war looks like

and if you are LGBT

or an ally

or Black

or Hispanic

or Jewish

or Japanese

or anti-racist

and so on

you are a soldier

we are the soldiers

we wear no uniforms

no protection

from guns

and rocks

and bigotry

and hatred

this is what war looks like

and BAM another person blows up our forces

and BAM another 

hundred of us fall

and BAM just because there's a bullet in my shoulder

does not mean I'm giving up

this is what war looks like

and I refuse to stop fighting

I will lay down my pencil

strip my hands from the keybord

if and when they surrender

and we can be one
