Running From Tyranny Into Tyranny's Hands
Battle
We the people have an obligation
To escape this persecution in search
Of a world in which we can be free
Victory
Now that the hard work is done
And over with, we deserve a break
Our white skin may burn in the sun
But brown and black skin?
Set my property on fire
Today
And now that's all past us
Racism is over, and America has
Forgotten discrimination
But the people still ruled by
Tyranny: the poor, the sick, the colored, the queer
Have only been handed the grip
Of a 1700s oppressor
This poem is about:
My country
