Dear Mr. Trump, I Won't Go Quietly

A Wrap Song About President Trump

Dear Mr. Trump, I Won't Go Quietly
Portlandflag.com

Lean in,

And listen carefully,

Try to understand this intrinsically,

What’s happened here is a travesty.


November ninth,

A day that will live in infamy,

Half the country trying to commit mutiny,

The other half voting for tyranny.


Promise,

I’d normally have more courtesy,

But I’ve been filled with a sense of urgency,

This is an emergency.


Sir, try to get this,

I know you don’t get history,

So I’ll try to say this with simplicity,

But we don’t take transgressions quietly.


I’m asking you,

To take me seriously,

The line between protests and riots is slippery,

And we won’t stop even if this gets blistery.


I don’t understand,

I can’t get your trajectory

How you got here is a mystery,

Everything you do is stupidity.


Not gonna lie,

I’m taking this personally,

I don’t believe in conformity,

And you see race and orientation in uniformity.


I think,

You have no consistency,

You’re full of contradictory,

You’ve said everything insincerely.

You’re an insider,

Got everything from your daddy,

Backers waiting for favors after giving their money,

Vlad’s lipstick on your collar from hangin’ with KGB.


Tell me,

How did you manage this trickery,

Or is this bewitchery,

I know you and the devil are working in synergy.


You haven’t won,

They call this a victory,

I call this a calamity,

I’ve tried but I can’t keep this locked internally.


Don’t dismiss this,

He’s the king of bigotry,

Forget your liberty,

Unless you share his ethnicity.


Believe me,

I’m not trying to terrify,

But I feel like I’m charged with electricity,

These words are my artillery.

Excuse me,

If I’m a bit jittery,

I’m nervous but I wont type gingerly,

I’ll be screaming in my eulogy.


Remember Chicago,

The whole world is watching,

So while you’re wall building,

We don’t give second chances easily.


Lean in,

And listen carefully.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
