i’m SORRY

I am sorry that my taxes support the occupation of Palestine which I do not support, but yet my money does!

I’m sorry I don’t know how to evoke change. 

I’m sorry for the luxury I have and the self-pity ingrained in me by my culture. 

I’m sorry that I have a family that settled on a land that is not theirs.

I’m sorry that I don’t help.

I’m sorry for what my government does and that I can’t stop it. I’m sorry I don’t try to.

I’m sorry for the deaths, despair, and loss that have been done in my name, to protect me.

Who will protect Americans from themselves? No one!

I’m
sorry because I do not feel innocent, I feel guilty as an American for
my democracy which fails but is being shoved down others’ throats. 

I’m sorry that an apology, no matter how much I truly mean it, is not enough.
