We Will Rise by mused: 8:36am On Oct 21, 2016
We will rise:
....
Get your ass up here
You bloody assholes!
You have got our eyes
Dabbing in a handkerchief
We have stammered,
We were pressured
By those evil men
Who called themselves leaders.
We were mocked
And petrified
We were cuddled by their thorny hands
We crawled and crawled still
Like a dog.
...
We have got to save our lives now
You bloody assholes!
C'mon
Go ahead and stop us
We are poor
But, not paralysed
We are hybernated
We are smuggled
But, we can still rise.
...
We owe you no rate and rent
we are measly paid
We do no wrong
You hicjacked our rights
We are chained
We are striving
We are shattered
Our conscience is buried
We are enslaved
You are the boss
So what else again
Do you need from us?
...
You bloody assholes
Our tattered households
Blemishes and wailing has get a hold
Of it
Even when we cry and our bones
Wails hard and our head is cold
You don't take a grip
We bother not and hold unto our sleepless sleep.
...
Just know this,
One day,
The hunter will be hunted
The hunted will rise to fight back.
