THREAT
creating threats
consuming lies
feeding us fear
controlling our lives
what is the threat?
why individuals?
what is the threat
if not institutions?
we don't need weapons
to fight institutions
what is the threat
making us desperate?
what is the threat
making us baits?
nothing to fear
under their eyes
what is the threat
making us enemies?
what is the threat?
everyone's tracked
no integrity
fully exposed
easy baits
selling ourselves more
to the state
DIRT
scars inside
my body's mind
nightmares won't hide
hunting me down
your dirt
my pain
trapped inside
wearing me out
nothing to change
not me to blame
inside
leave outside
the shame
the burden
not mine
dirt, pain
to carry around
dirt
pain
not mine
to tear me down
burried deep down
nested inside
painful wounds
blacken my mind
I'm pulling
the pain out
leaving behind
throwing
the dirt out
I’m cutting
the shame out
cut
FIGHT
for freedom
our lives
for our rights
we will fight
when the ones
who own power
don't share
then they reject us
fair, equal lives
and turn everyone
but themselves
into slaves
arise, claim
what should be ours
we will fight
for our visions
for our rights
equal say
for equal words
for the jobs
for the wages
for our time
equal pay
for equal work
Aspasia
Harriet Tubman
Malala Yousafzai
Anna Sterky
Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti
the Suffragettes
and all equal souls
you people
who've got courage
to claim
free speech
no censorship
no dictatorships
your discussions
are the fights
for insight
your actions
have impact
on our lives
for our bodies
for our minds
for equal lives
set us free
from control
for our power
for freedom
we will fight
because of you
we will fight

VOID
dreaming, fooling, forsaking
denying, despising, hurting
myself
losing me, losing you, losing us, losing trust
what will i trust in
when i can't reach my dreams
what will i hold on to
when falling through?
who will have me when i'm diminished
what will i hold on to
dreaming, fooling, forsaking
denying, despising, hurting
myself
void in between
dreams and reality
inducing anxiety
drowning in black tears
bedamned
to be someone
someone
want to be someone
someone
want to be someone
why someone
someone
why someone
dreams, hunt me down
THE DISPOSSESSED
toil for lies
shattered life
disdain, destitute
curse of the dispossesed
empty words, empty promises
false sense of progress - who pays the price?
deception and propaganda
no future in (the) past
those who will never cease to hope,
silent desperation, anger and fear,
without relief
severed lives, failing promises
self-degradation
burden of the downtrodden
curse of (the) distressed
empty words, empty promises
false sense of progress - who pays the price?
deception and propaganda
no future in (the) past
all the words
all the promises
the hope, all gone
all gone
HUNT
millions are being shot
sold on the black market
hunted away from their lands
about to be extinct
how can people go free?
they will never go free
they try to flee into dead ends
hunt, kill, buy
for vanity
we steal their lands and turn them to ours - for vanity
we ruin their future, no more coming life
who are we to decide?
who will live, who will die?
hunt, kill, sell
for blood money
dead mammals
ain't medical cures – but blood money
ain't souvenirs
but murders on the walls
vanity, placebo cures, self-glorification
no money, no money will bring them back
to life from death
who will never go free?
nasty killers, try to flee your sins
we’ll hunt you down
hunt, kill, sue
hunt them down
sue them all, sue them all - hunt them down
or should we kill them all, kill them all
wolf hunts in north
rhino murders in south
millions of pangolines
trafficked and killed
their lifes in our hand
quaggas extinct
soon they'll be extinct
we will be extinct
soon we'll be extinct
all will be extinct
