A friend was discussing an issue facing her own community. She specifically asked people not part of her community not to share their views on her post or page. As she was looking for solutions and suggestions from the community being affected. Still, the conversations was constantly being derailed by “not all… do…” shut the fuck up. No one thinks all of anyone or anything does something. Soooo, here is a poem for contrary muthafuckas who love stating the obvious.
