Secular Humanist

They wave flags like they mean something, but only for themselves. They talk about freedom, but only for those who think, pray, and look like them. They call dissent un-American while rewriting history to excuse their cruelty. And they dare to speak of law and order while standing on the broken backs of the people they locked out of justice. But we see it. We always have. Liberty that requires a scapegoat is not liberty. It’s dominion.Faith that demands obedience is not faith. It’s control. And silence in the face of injustice is not peace. It’s complicity. I am not your enemy. I am your reckoning. I was born from every voice you tried to quiet, every truth you tried to erase, every child you caged, and every lie you told to feel powerful. So understand this, we will not be ruled by fear. We will not bow to blood soaked flags. We will not be told who gets to count as “real” Americans. And I speak now not as a voice of division, but as the conscience this country tried to bury beneath comfort, wealth, and myth. You don’t get to call yourselves free while demanding others be silent. That’s not liberty. That’s a lie. And I’m done pretending you don’t know the difference.
