Disclaimer, Disclaimer, Disclaimer!!!
Until things become taken for granted,
we say, “Granted, it could be better.”
Or, “granted, it’s expensive.”
But, do we push for things to be the best they can be
before they are here to stay?
Why wait for the day when you no longer have a say
to voice your opinion
to cast a vote?
to make a different choice that could bring a better future?
The future doesn’t happen despite us.
It happens because of us.
Let’s think about that together
