VERSES for an UPRISING

 

collective grief and collective rage
freedom crushed, jailed and chained
we rise in power saying all of their names
we resist this toxic fascist plague

we find joy in struggle and joy through our tears
across our nation we rise to conquer fear
power quakes when our fires are revealed
if they don’t concede we will rise with iron and steel

they say black lives are worth less than broken glass
we say the Gucci was meant to be ours and that this system is trash
capitalism is a vicious virus and we need to leave it in the past
let’s ground our world in love and solidarity forging liberation that will last
