cylon jedis grind their teeth
grooving to a hard house beat
recruiting an army to take out this cabal
uniting the subaltern and rediscovering cosmic powers
trans and queer are flying high
resisting the bigots and steeling our style
organizing is a creative art
when revolutionary theory comes to life
we must build centers of resistance with tentacles extending outward
our strength is in our numbers and our tactical powers
so many formations emerging to take on the fascist threat
so many movements in motion—seeking a vision that can save us from climatic death
jedi powers were imagined decades ago
but the metaphor rings true because of what some of us know
our human race is capable of amazing feats of creation
feals of intuition—feats of reinvention
i have a rebel heart—and i’m letting it bleed
hoping the hemoglobin in my blood will plant a revolutionary seed
its d-day fellow rebels—rising phoenix—butterflies
time to transform this system—lest we all pay with our lives
let your rebel heart sing-let it love-let it cry
we can unite a powerful karmic army—utterly dope and super fly
