In Celebration of Resistance and Rebellion.

 1.  
Dedicated to the people of Brazil, Fergusson and Greece.

 Oh Welcome riots and insurrections  
 let the oppressed's rage freely flow
 let it be felt by the oppressors
 in every word and blow
 let the people's anger rise bubbling
 let it froth and flow forth
 like lava
 like the hot breath
 of a dog  
 that has panted for  
 far too long.
 Let the channels of polite protest
 run dry.
 Let the confines of law and fear be abolished
 May they be buried in memory,
 may the truth be known.
 No longer asking permission
 No longer begging for scraps
 No longer meekly submitting
 but White hot
 melt off
 the shackles of  oppression
 the stains of exploitation
 heal the recurring wounds
 of this world of indignity
 This world is yours
 no more hollow words
 empty phrases
 but action
 This world is OURS
 let us TAKE IT BACK!
 
 
 2. To an Old friend now turned fascist.
 
 How lost you are
 old friend
 once confidantes against the bosses
 our common foe
 but now
 while I stay on the path
 united in struggle
 You've strayed
 forgotten the past
 play divide and rule
 wrongly blame
 and so exile those on your side
 and so exile yourself
 from humanity
 and from my mercy!
 
 
 3. One day
 when misery haunted me
 and suffering  
 allowed no breath
 I first met  
 my love
 Rebellion.
 In the Darkest of nights
 and the brightest of dawns
 we dance and we play
 Against all hierarchies
and masters  
of all kinds.
 
4. All struggles are one
its where we have our fun
strive till the fight is won
and the world is red  
like the bold morning sun!
 
5. All states are the lapdogs of the market
all states protect capitalism  
put their enemies in prison
all states protect the status quo
want to keep things as they are
states will do anything to protect
existing systems
and don't believe in the  
concept of going too far.
 
6.  The State friend to cancerous capitalist parasites
chummy with the white supremacist
in bed with patriarchy
in love with heteronormativity
sees only in monochrome rigid Gender Binary
Abstractions before life  
Economy before Ecology
Algorithms before animals
imperialism as habit
the jail, the gibbet or garrotte for any dissident
wishes death on the militant
co-opts and cajoles any anger expressed
in unofficial means
tries to win them over to its side
with goodies, prizes and bribes
with reforms and breadcrumbs
if not successful
not afraid to break some thumbs
vote vote vote
this time it'll be different
we'll rob you by profit,inflation and rent
act as the world police, puritan and parent
big brother you, mother you  
make you ours
then we'll tell you it's inevitable
as oppression's spread
and they, the whole world devours!
 
7.From the peasants revolts
 to occupy, balcombe and the porteous riot
 through history people have refused to keep quiet.

 whenever injustice caused
   illusionary normality
 to crack
 people have organised
  and strived
 to fight back.

 We should learn about their struggles
 see the lessons we can discern
 empowering self organisation
 is not automatic
  but something you must learn

 voting is too easy
 brings a simpleminded satisfaction
 you know as well as I do
 the best response is
 Direct Action!

 I hear so often people telling me the world
 isn't fair
 I tell them it's been made that way
 through capitalist class warfare.

 This is not a battle
 I'm glad to have to fight
 but despite fleas biting or pigs poking
 it's one we all must
 we are the ones in the right.


 Until we look upon that glorious day
 bite the hand that feeds
 bite it till it bleeds
 resist their oppressions
 in every word and deed.

8. They say it's darkest before the dawn
 then will come the new red sun
 the people will rise like a great phoenix across the earth
 and the world will belong to everyone.
 Like Durruti said, we carry a new world in our heart
 we just have to struggle to see it and fight the forces
 that would tear it apart.

9. It'd be utopian for me
 to dream up a blueprint
 I can't dictate for future generations
 I can't give you all the answers
 I can't see the future
 but I can speculate
 and I can hint.

10. Means and ends link like  ouroboros  the snake
 how we struggle today influences
 the form
  the future society
 will take.

11. We'll organize ourselves on looking after human need
 solidarity will be the aim, personal growth a goal
 not chasing wealth or fame, we'll have no time for selfish greed.
 no more any homeless on the streets, no longer anyone without food
 eating and shelter won't have a cost attached, but be free for human good.
 In harmony we'll respect the earth and it's creatures
 but not having done that very well before,
 I can't tell you all of the features.

12. All you heroes of spain
 you taught me to stand tall and be fearless in the fight
 you taught me how to walk the path and where it won't turn right
 I'm proud to study your stories and be the one to carry it on
 I only hope the Idea burns bright in me, I only hope I keep it strong
 in the darkest times when it hushes down to a flickering flame
 your memory breathes life into the ancient Idea
 and we remember the new world that was being born in spain.


13. it only takes a seed
 for fruit to grow
 we need to study our past
 learn the history from below.


14.  Your liberation won't be won in an election
 but with a grassroots movement
 half creating the new world,
 half fighting an insurrection
