It is said:
Let it be
Don’t rock the boat
Let it go
Really?
I can’t
Let it be
Be what?
What kind of there?
There to survive
Survive in silence?
Silence is complicity
Complicity kills
Kills innocent people
People in the boat
Boat that you won’t rock
Rock to shine a light
Light on the darkness
Darkness can’t be ignored
Ignoring is letting it go
Go down
Down to the depths of sorrow
Sorrow for the forgotten
Forgotten and unloved
Unloved by you
You because you let it be, didn’t rock the boat, and said let it go.
Let’s get to work!!
Speak up!
Rock the boat!
Don’t let folks die!

A steady boat needs calm seas and a competitant sailor at the helm.
