Vandalism Ain’t Activism (The Sonnet) | Esperanza Impossible
Systemic change is a slow and tedious process,
It doesn’t happen overnight by vandalizing society.
If vandalism and activism were one and the same,
Our jungly ancestors would’ve been the ideal humanity.
Change habits, change yourself, submit to no primitivity,
The change that you dream of, be the epitome of that change.
Obstructing traffic and refusing to let an ambulance pass,
You’re not fighting any crisis, but being a crisis yourself.
Go fly a kite, it is good for the mind as well as body,
Get lessons on common sense before appointing yourself king.
The line between activism and terrorism is so thin that,
Often many go astray without having the slightest inkling.
I repeat, systemic change is a slow and tedious process.
The more you rush with recklessness, the more you digress.
