I'm not the
demographic
they want
I don't have the
disposable income
they need
I'm not the
religion
or lack thereof
I'm not the vision
of attractive
they seek
But when I heard
the march
was for justice
And when I heard
it was so inclusive
and diverse
I went to the march
but like many others
I just slipped away
The movement
isn't for us
so we just slip away.
We just slip away
in death
and in poverty
We just slip away
in sickness
and anonymity
We just slip away
in statistics
called acts of despair
We just slip away
at our windows
while they march,
the people that care.
