falling whistles

Location

"Is that a rape whistle?"

"No? It's

A symbol of protest,

A tool to elevate conversation,

A vote for peace in Congo."

Little boys are sent into war only defended with a whistle.

I wear this necklace everyday.

I have this whistle on my keys.

I want this symbol tattooed on my body.

I know we're strong enough to change the world.

being a strong Nation it's our job to help.

third world countries are struggling.

while Americans sit on our couches wishing things would be better for them,

I protest everyday for change. 

It's symbolic.

It's important.

It's necessary.

A symbol of protest.

A tool to elevate conversation.

A vote for peace in Congo.

I believe peace is possible.

Why don't people try?

Nothing will happen if you think someone else will help.

It's a continuous cycle of no help being offered.

These little boys deserve and education.

It's symbolic.

It's important.

it's necessary.

so tell me, whats stopping you from becoming a whistleblower for peace?
