November 2014
Students as Agents for Human Rights

As students, how will obtaining a higher education influence your role & responsibilities in advocating for Human Rights?

Together we will take a stand

Together we will spread awareness everywhere we go
Are we only free

Let’s just take over the white house

Imprisoning the leaders. It’s a goddamn shame. Whether chained up minds or locked behind bars. It all cruel the same

The knowledge that enters through my mind will echo from my tongue and mystify the ears of the ignorant. I will defy their words by existing as different, fragmented

By getting out of the college prison and getting into the world you live in. That is true education

What is love? Crap.
The things a book can’t teach you but that teacher try to reach you with reality but you just sit there and think… God how is any of this applicable to me?”

I can use my education, and educate others, who will educate more, & more, & more

I’m starting to wonder if this abstract kind of thought is futile, or if I’ve lost who I am.

Love one, love all Because all we have in the end is each other
Love me and I will love you and be your friend

Is it human nature or human behavior. I’ve seen emotions connect us, but also twist our our mind to do bad things. Is that what makes human?

Everyone has something to offer. Something to say and no one should be silenced (including myself)

By myself I feel down and low
But it all changed about a week ago
