Resistance

I'm fucking tired of the news

Its grueling through and through

I would rather die

Than see another's innocent life

Being stripped from their hands

Mine may not be clean, but I know whats right

 

There's a lack of accountability

If you're white and a man, you're set

But our brothers are still fighting the same old shit

Get your hands dirty my friends

Help them up and they'll help you too

 

Take a stand

Let it ride

Its us against the rising tide

of hate -

We shall take the light my friend

Extinguish, and bury them

A cancer eating its way out

Processing the fear and shout

It's all a fucking lie

 

Resist and I'll be there next to you

I've been screaming to change the world

Ever since I knew how

I'd like to stand out from the crowd

But I am only whispering

I need your voice to join mine

 

Its come to this

An iron fist,

And battered voices that came with

Torn and cracking from abuse

Screaming doesn't do shit

When ears refuse to hear

 

So we must

 

Take a stand

Let it ride

Its us against the rising tide

of hate -

We shall take the light my friend

Extinguish, and bury them

A cancer eating its way out

Process the fear and shout

It's all a fucking lie

This Congresswoman Said

"i know it sounds hokey, but it begins with us to love and stop the hating." (paraphrased). I thought, it only sounds hokey becuase it is not heard ofen enough.We are god at preaching to the choire.  King said it, so did Ghandi, and Mother Teresa during our lifetimes and still, so many turn to hating. Malcolm and Bobby, John and Marvin Gaye, but we are a nation of mentally challened hearing impaired. I shall attemp hokeyness for a while. But I still hate spiders. :)
