So much inequality exists

Budget cuts to welfare programs are like tightening the noose around the poor’s neck

Being laid off is a death sentence for most

The poor are getting poorer

The rich getting richer

And the middle class is diminishing

People are getting upset and it’s time

 

It’s time to get upset

It’s time to not settle for less than deserved

It’s time to listen to the cries of the poor

It’s time to put an end to the 1 percent

 

It’s time to stop sabotaging ourselves as a nation

It’s time to start accepting our differences

It’s time to stop the injustice

It’s time to stop the advancement of sexism, homophobia, racism, and classism

 

It’s time to put an end to oppression

It’s time to stand up for the little people

It’s time to break down the walls built in from of those just trying to survive

It’s time to be more than upset
