It’s time to take to the streets
With our placards and our songs,
It’s time to reassert our liberties and freedom,
It’s time to challenge the law of force
That is supposed to protect us,
But we know they are the ones
Most likely to beat us,
But we must still take to the streets
And start to begin demonstrating,
But instead of showing violence
We must do it peacefully and with love,
But demand that people come
Before big business and mass corporations,
Because we deserve that much respect
Across every single nation,
We are the people after all
And we are the power,
And if you don’t believe this
Well bestow on your system,
Your final fucking hour
Before we bring you down,
With our frustration and desperation
As we take to the streets you better fear our intentions,
For we’ll sweep you from office
And replace you with some entity that cares,
And who gets that it’s important
To offer equality and who shares,
For this trickle down theory
That you maintain just doesn’t work,
And it leaves many of us
In a place of poverty and hurt,
So that’s why we must take to the streets
And start to redress the balance,
But we cannot use violence
We must utilise the power of our love and peace,
To bring their corrupt systems down.
a beautiful, powerful poem. Thank you for sharing
