subaltern powers writhe, grow, and rise
posing an alternative to this system from inside
examining anti-capitalist theory through transformative newborn eyes
resisting the fascist threat cloaked in patriotic disguise
we don’t walk we strut
we don’t make love we fuck
we strike a pose and run amok
bashing bigots into dust
we are a rising crime family crafted in the digital age
arming ourselves with spiritual weapons to resist this proto-fascist plague
we rule the streets day and night: our energy never fades
we demand the karmic justice that for so many centuries has been delayed
our red mafia aims its arsenal at the crime family in power
bigots and profiteers waging war on what is right and what is ours
we reject the logic of acquiescence every minute of every hour
our insurgency transforms like a butterfly metamorphing like a cosmic flower
this system preserves itself through perverse and dehumanizing logic
native genocide and white supremacy were crafted at its founding
the janus-faced beast of patriarchy holds trans women in bondage
don’t wallow in your privilege: become my latest accomplice
our crime family rises up styled fly and looking fierce
red mafia rising: armed with venom and fang-like teeth
our project is to slay the global capitalist beast
our subaltern insurrection grows from roots deep beneath
