We take hesitant steps forward,
And are thrown back down the path
To battles already fought
Roads already built.
Years spent building bridges yet
masses of people prefer jumping from the cliffs
Everyone screaming at once.
No one is listening.
Hate and fear grow engineered by those in power
Occupied with strife against those fighting for their lives next to you.
We allow oppressors to throw on more chains.
The drag show at the bar on the corner
Isn't killing children But propaganda is heaping more pressure on your closeted trans kids.
A rainbow on a beer can isnt hurting you, but that flag murdered millions.
Tilt your sights
Not behind
Not below
But above you.
The rich and powerful are stacking the system increasingly in their favor.
Forcing us to fight for scraps and struggle just to be alive.
Kill your local rapist? Its not the trans woman in the women's bathroom... Look to your local church.
Its not the immigrant stealing food from your mouth its the CEO stealing wages and inflating the cost of living.
What are we doing?
How did we get here?
Deprogram yourself.
Tilt your sights to those above you.
The Revolution awaits.
