When Burden of Proof is Too High

And the consequences are even higher

I can blow the whistle I want

And I can make that whistle as loud and as obnoxious as possible

But if society refuses to hear it…

There will be a day that society will turn around and ask why didn’t you say something sooner

And I’m not the only one in this boat

I’ve seen it happen countless times

Where the truth is being spoken, but everyone would rather turn a blind eye

After all, it’s easy to ignore what you can’t see

Until the day you can’t

And the hard truth needs to be faced

And society’s failure rears its ugly head

Only for the process to happen over and over and over and over again

Too many times to count

With too many victims lining the path

With stories told, but ignored

With the truth looking you blatantly in the face

And for that, I will not forgive
