Bless us with the fearlessness to be free

by Kees

We need it now more then ever Plagued we are I look out my window and see the fear walking my people like dogs Smiling So fat from the constant food we supply them our spirits so frail and week from lack of They party all night There's pit fights to the death staring our courage Our pride is whored around Our love is given the life sentence Our hope is beaten down if it shows any sign of Positivity Our faith is tortured Lincoln you have failed Slavery is not dead Why couldn't you address this too Im scared to dance how I want whenever I want I'm scared to speak my mind Scared to share my dreams god forbid I even try to live them out I'm afraid people won't like it Scared you won't love me any more Our relationship will end Our laughs won't be the same The unknown is always bad to me No that's not how it's supposed to be Revolt in your mind Riot in your heart Rampage in your soul We shall show fear who has put it in its position of power With the endless power we have
