Justice is somewhere in between reading sad poems and 40 oz of gasoline crashing through windows
Justice is between plans and action
Between writing letters to congressmen and clocking the captain
Between raising legal defense funds and putting a gun on the bailiff and taking the judge captive
It is between prayer and fasting
Between burning and blasting
Freedom is between the mind and the soul
Its between the lock and the load
Between the zeal of the young and the patience of the old
Freedom is between the finger and the trigger
Its between the page and the pen
Between the grenade and the pin
Between righteous anger and keeping one in the chamber
-Amir Sulaiman
"To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget."

Maybe I need to read to get out of this funk....
