Today I am saddened, Today I am hopeful

```text Today I am saddened Today I am saddened for the women mistreated by misogynistic views and actions Today I am saddened for those who have been mistreated by racist views and actions Today I am saddened for the LGBTQ community who are just trying to have a voice Today I am saddened by the people who show hate over love and compassion Today I am saddened for my own sins against humanity Today I am saddened for those who think the world has ended Today I am saddened for those who think the revolution has started Today I am saddened for those who do not know the joy and peace of Jesus Today I am saddened
