I Will Not Go Willingly

I will not go willingly into the dark,

Where the light hasn't shone in years.

I will not comply with those who mean me harm--

The ones who control with threats and fear.

/

I will not go willingly into a cage,

To die in the heat like a dog.

I will not bow down to tyrants of hate,

Even if it's my neck on the block.

/

I will not go willingly with men in flaks,

Who see this cull as a means to an end.

I will not open the door to cowards in masks,

Who think women need to breed to save white men.

/

I will not go willingly to my own death,

Whether it's from a bullet or a noose.

I will scream for liberty until my last breath,

And the words will forever mark you.
