re-offender

travis

Keeping up appearances
Keeping up with the Jones'
Fooling my selfish heart
Going through the motions


But I'm fooling myself
I'm fooling myself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
But then you do it again, you do it again

Everybody thinks you're well
Everybody thinks I'm ill
Watching me fall apart
Falling under your spell

But you're fooling yourself
You're fooling yourself
Cause you say you love me
And then you do it again, you do it again
You say your sorry's
And then you do it again, you do it again
And again and again and again and again

isms

so I walked into a public restroom about a month ago and saw a bunch of graffiti on the wall; it said:

"Death to isms!!" then under it was a bunch of examples..."racism, sexism," etc. I had to laugh as I read it though because although I agree with the written message.....I'm thinking to myself what about the bigger message, the unspoken message you're (whoever it was) communicating......what about vandalism?

....I have yet to get the bumper sticker that says "BE the change you wish to see in the world" to put on my car....fighting isms like racism, sexism, etc. is always easier said than done....I believe change happens one person at a time and starts with the individual themselves.

really, what kind of social change is going to be brought about against "isms" by vandalizing on a wall in a public restroom....come on!
