A Personal Journey to Civil Disobedience

Morality is relative – Vegans do coke – Oil barons recycle.

We can’t do it all

Can’t do it all on our own

There’s got to be balance.

I bet Mother Theresa kicked puppies

At least I hope she did.

When there’s so much pain and maliciousness around the weight of my own desire for perfection

breaks me apart.

Gotta do something bad

Or risk going sane in a crazy world.

Yet I won’t stoop to their level

But I should probably try and meet them halfway.

So I’ll glue myself onto the highway

Deface private property

Disrupt the powers that can’t change me – but can change the world.

Or maybe I’ll just kick a puppy.
