friend
I don't know you
but I see your eyes
can you ever see your eyes?
do you walk
on the ice?
clouds in the skies.
friend, do I know you?
You do not see your eyes
and your pupils are wide-
You are too scared.
let go, walk into the clouds
in the skies.
friend, I know you.
your handwriting is like mine
you are hurried-
like you can't see.
We can see clouds in the
skies.

government repressing us
oppressing us
resenting our resistance
never caring it's for the better
they just want
power to get paid to get power
be worshiped as an idol
but despised by those who disagree
and if you don’t agree
better run and hide
or make armor out of soda tabs
because you can
organize a militia
just not if it's against their ideals
messed up this world with their ideas
If you don’t agree
better run and hide
carry that shield to school
the bad men with the guns
will come find you
don’t lose your life today, honey
as she sends you off to school
remember to hide under the desks
and shut the lights off
but never bring light to
the issues at the root
of this insanity
I’m in the streets
and I’m screaming profanity
because if I say it nicely
it’s as bad as staying silent.
I’m a soda-tab soldier
fighting for my rights
the rights to my body
the rights to my life
the rights to my planet
on this planet you’re destroying.
