The fight for freedom never ends
Acquired democratic rights do not exist forever
We have to struggle each day
To erode the brutality that is inside of us
In our governments
In our systems
In our police force
It is time to change from a world
Built by machines
With no compassion
Into a natural state
Where love and freedom rule
Where women are not humiliated
And forced to stay at home
Nor protesters attacked
Until they bleed
Where everyone has a voice
That counts
Where violence does not supersede
The welfare of human beings
Where people are not surrounded by an alien order
That disrepects their fundamental rights
And money and power are the only things that count
You must blossom
And be like water
It is nature that mirrors us
Living sentient beings
Let no one take these rights from you
The right to be happy
The right to enjoy the sunshine
Each hour of every day
In peace
To do as you please
As long as you don’t hurt each other
Keep walking the streets
Shame the system
That turns human beings
Into monsters
fighting amongst themselves
Your enemy is not the other
But try to support and love each other
As it was originally meant to be
Your struggle is ours
We bear witness every day
