Pen to Paper

A land that's been invaded
by hate and vitriol
with my left hand i stand waving
high school band passes by
is that flag tattered
failing in the wind
or torn apart
by favors
that will take us to our end
right hand over my heart
loyalty to a king
not a chance
not my trance
they will open your eyes  
to the pain
 
While they ban the pages  
we write more
blasphemy to the power
come knocking on your door
hands are tools of precision
minds sharp and strong
here we write the history
of our rights and wrongs
come out of the basements closets
kitchens and the fields
remember who we are
what we are willing to do
more than a vision
of any single hand
put your pen to paper
put your truth to paper
put your soul to paper
where history stands
