What do you do when the system is broken?
When you watch your contributions set to the side,
a token,
a motion that others are going through around you,
so many words unspoken.
Do you stay where you are and hope that the fight,
is worth the capitulations,
keeping you up at night?
when others are silent,
potentially to become,
a sign of the violence,
they say that people like you,
are getting up to.
When you do,
are you silent underground?
Or, do you use your moment as a beacon,
for others,
for sisters and brothers,
who know you did what you could.
That you stood for science & knowledge
and working for the good of society?
Like we do here on This Week in Science.
