shock doctrine on overdrive
producing billions and endangering lives
corporate greed with no oversight
lacerating care and magnifying blight
we resist day by day in pursuit of a dream
we persist in this fight however futile it seems
we demand something more than this neoliberal wasteland
we demand equality for every woman and every man
the toxic refuse we confront becomes increasingly clear
we face renewed threats of war–ultimate annihilation seems near
to meet the threat of climate catastrophe–to counter the specter of nuclear war
we will need revolutionary vision–we will need a spiritual core
president 45 is a class war kamikaze–taking aim at everything not moored in place
to resist we will need an army of street art vixens styled and empowered with cylon grace
trans and queer, black and brown–armed with love and holding it down
feeling a subterranean rhythm–building the power of the underground
