Wall closing in

We find our world, with walls closing in,

But we must now believe, we’re going to win,

For those who want, our world in their hands,

Don’t they understand, that we disagree with those plans?

Whatever we’re facing, and god only knows,

We must come together, and put on a show,

Future generations, will most certainly see,

Which people were brave, and saved humanity,

Did we stand idly, when freedom was lost?

Or did we fight back, regardless of cost?

If you are now still, having doubts or concerns?

Understand the division, we now have to learn,

Since when was discrimination, something to cheer?

Whether you’re black, white or Asian, transsexual or queer?

It’s never been right, and most people reject,

But how do we change, with these clowns we elect?

Lining their pockets, is their one true goal,

You would think they all had, sold their soul,

For the suffering and pain, That people now feel,

Brings choices we have, so vivid and real,

We have to stand all together, in numbers so strong,

That they’ll have to admit, they’ve been criminally wrong!!
