I come from the sky
a sacred bloodline of over a trillion star systems
all that which have died
stars that have collided, collapsed, ignited
chemically bound into a force reunited
my sentience is not a mere coincidence
this cellular body is not an accident,
and yet by oppression I continue to be silenced
this body, this vessel
is a result of a cosmic flow
because the stars came together
to self destruct for my existence
this is why I must be
P E R S I S T E N T
OPPRESS ME AND I WILL SHOW RESISTANCE
never double cross a soul that knows they come the sky
because when we look back up to the stars at night
and think about the billions of other lives that have been caged,
left with no voice, with no ability to fight,
we can’t help but take offense
we are destined for more than this mundane, make believe system
we are destined for more than this material, economical strife
place me into a toxic routine,
allow big business to trample my land
my food and my water supply,
and I will not comply
believe me, I will fight
