BORDERS
Oppressor,
Go ahead and build your wall...
But know:
We plant our seeds on this firm,
fertile and borrowed ground;
watch as they grow
to RIP IT DOWN!
From the ashes of your destruction
the REVOLUTION smells of sweet nectar.
We are far more than a garden
of "select" flowers.
We are an EADEN of diversity.
"With liberty and justice for all."
We will long surpass your darkening hour.
Our unity's foundation
will overrule this segregation.
As you blueprint your bridges to foreign lands, the likes of which you find gain
from their bounty,
the world is watching,
and so are we.
We ready the ships with progressive sails
to cross the bounds ever-freely.
There WILL be a reaping.
There WILL be a reckoning.
Your shouts into the crowd are loud,
but we are the MORE.
Your microphone is as fragile
as your pedestal.
You are NOT our voice.
The sum of your parts spew the same.
But our melting pot has an eclectic range!
There is no justice with injustice.
There is no freedom till we are all free.
Our progress will not be halted
by archaic boundaries...
YOU are the less.
WE are the more.
WE will not be silenced!
WE will rise!
WE will stand on this firm, fertile and borrowed ground,
and WE WILL EXIST!
WE WILL EXIST!
WE WILL EXIST!
Go ahead and build your wall...
