Take a Stand
Take a stand…
a stand against society
a stand against social order
a stand against the system
when the wool is pulled over your eyes
it is your duty to look through the tiny hole!
when they tell you sit...stand
when they tell you ignore...listen
when they tell you keep silent.. scream
when the system feeds you that institutionalised BS..bite through it
So this is MY STAND
a stand against the racism
a stand against criminal injustice
a stand against silence
when you tell me i'm too black...i hit you with my blackness
when you tell me my hijab is ‘out of place’...i wear the brightest one
when you tell me my femininity means being a housewife...i work my shift from 9-5
so i take my stand, in many ways
i take it with a smile
i take it with a laugh
but mostly i take it with an attitude!
