#BernieAin'tGonnaFixThis

Jk, this has nothing to do with Sanders. Clickbait is fun.

What do you do?

When you've just met her and her friend, and her boyfriend. When the night is going fine, and all is chill and people are talking and lives are discovering other lives. When all of a sudden her boyfriend storms off after talking to her, and her friend can't find her. When her friend does find her, but her boyfriend gets to you and her friend before you find her, and is *pissed*. When he tells you it's nice meeting you, and that he's going to head out now. When he yells at her friend to tell her to get the car, cause they're leaving. When her friend calls out to you to text her, says it was good to meet you, turns away with a look on her face, as you walk away. As you just fucking walk away. You say, "Take it easy", because that's what you say to new friends. Maybe you mean more, maybe you don't.

What do you do?

What do you do, when doing something might make it worse?

When staying makes it worse? When staying and hiding and checking could make it much worse?

When maybe this is the one time it might make things better? When maybe your help is needed?

When it's none of your business?

When it's everyone's business?

What do you do, when if you call the cops, someone could get killed because they're not white? I biked past the spot where Che died tonight. I stopped because I couldn't go on and pretend nothing happened there.

What do you do, when someone might die for nothing?

What do you do, when maybe someone gets arrested, and someone who shouldn't might get hurt and the person who should doesn't?

What do you do, when the cops might not care anyways?

What if you're wrong about all of this?

What if you're right?

What do you do?

Fuck.
