8th March: We learned from Vietnam
The man learned how to hide
What they do from the public eye
So when we write
When we create
Our creations are shallow
Do not offend
Our protest unfulfilled
We see it not
Or we do and don’t
No voices in the street
Where is the outrage
the fear
for ours is a closing cage
14th April: I was elected to Our student governments Campus Safety Commission as Co-Chair
