ICE van sits on the corner
waiting for your children
waiting for your parents
waiting for your friends
Got your green card?
It doesn't matter
you're still a target
in the end.
--
No one is safe.
The monster is in the House.
The monster is in the Cabinet.
The white house on the lane is
run by the insane.
--
People are fired and arrested
for honoring their body
for minding their own business
for speaking their truth
a stark contrast from the time
of our youth.
--
Now our country is laughed at.
once
a nation of pride
a safe haven
honorable and true
now reduced to just a big bully
feared by many, despised by few.
--
Who scheduled this war?
Who profits from such pain
Who builds their kingdom
on bodies and chains.
--
Won't you help me save the date?
3 years left
but justice won't wait!
