i'm in a smokey internet cafe
the sun has long since set
i'm sleepy
blurry eyed
coughing in the blue haze
and thinking about tomorrow

more students
a whole entire school to tell
reveal
unveil
expose
the plight the modern slave too

today in church,
a random church i went to randomly,
i randomly sat next to a teacher
and told them what i did in japan,
what i will do in daejeon

they were thoughtful, absent minded
and so randomly
i've been invited to share
about how to change the world
how to choose to save lives
how to fight against trafficking

is anything ever random?

i don't think so
