Peaceful protest feels like begging
Those with power don't see our humanity
To them we are things to be used and abused
To them we are the worms on the street
Nonviolence feels humiliating
And the experts somehow call it victory
When after years of asking nicely for food
We get mouldy rotten scraps to eat
But we deserve to eat that's a human right
An intrinsic integral inalienable right
We should not have to beg and grovel and plead
Just to get them to pretend they let us have what we need
All human rights belong to all humans
And no-one should have the ability to withhold them

Governments and billionaires
The rich comfortable and usually white
Have power to deny what people deserve
To treat us like we aren't even lives
Then they act like everything's fair
Try to paint themselves in justifying light
As if we want to live just to live to serve
And we can't even challenge their lies

I want to wrest their power out of their hands
Violent explosive and ragingly, however I can
I want blood and fire to rain from the sky
So no-one ever again has the power to deny
Rights that are intrinsic, integral and free
Respect equality and joy for all humanity
