Through Hate They Took Power
Every morning I wake
To some atrocity
The news would have us fear
Viruses – Violence –
Tyranny – Fascism –
Many want to believe
Things are getting better
Oppression awaits us –
Every single person
Your white privilege makes
You the last target not –
Free from the oppression
When you realize what the
Whole world is becoming
It’ll be too late to stop
There is a coup against
Us by the government
Will you submit or fight –
Will you allow them to
Control and dominate
