Silence is complicity.


I am only one
by Edward Everett Hale

I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something I can do.
Today is National Cake Day.
It is also National Anti-Obesity Day.

Conundrum 🤷
