MOVE YOU WILL
Something primal, something visceral
Has activated my rage
My soul vomits up my anger
It spread across this page
MOVE YOU WILL!!!!!
I'll keep this short and sweet
For over a millennia you've had your way
Blocking the door of opportunity
MOVE YOU WILL
Felt your blood-soaked hands around our throats
Ra**ng our women our culture and our future
False superiority your only justification
MOVE YOU WILL
Convincing us to wait for an equality that you would never give
Treating like pets the buck dancing few
Groveling at your feet for a few bitter crumbs of acceptance
Beating shooting and lynching those of us who clung to our dignity
MOVE YOU WILL
When we defied your lies and did well on our own
You came with the torch
New Orleans 1866,St Bernard Parish 1868,Eufaula where some of my ancestors are from!1874,Rosewood 1923.Tulsa 1921.
I could go on but you get the point
MOVE YOU WILL
And now that the Arc of Destiny is bending ever so slightly in our favor
You want to end it all
You're a authoritarian now?
A Confederate flag/ N**i flag waving, Capitol storming, book burning, election denying authoritarian?
Your just afraid that will do to you what you did to us
And I don't care
MOVE YOU WILL
From the door of opportunity, from the hallway to my success, from the window to my dreams.
I refuse to hand to my descendants something worse than I got from mine.
MOVE YOU WILL
I took a oath to defend this country from ALL enemies foreign and domestic
If my compatriots must stand upon my broken body
Stabbing your authoritarian philosophy in the neck
With the sharpened bones of your ancestors
SO BE IT!!!
MOVE YOU WILL!!!!!
Written in love for all Humanity
