Build a place

Build a home
Build a place
A place for peace
A place that’s free
Free from Kings,
Free for all.
All becomes good
All are now one.

One it grows power
One it lays rules.
Rules that are cool
Rules that are cruel.

Cruel starts to fester
Cruel starts to grow.
Grows to take over,
Grows to take hold.
Hold in their hands
Hold of their lives.
Lives on the line
Lives out of sight.

Sight the desperation
Sight out the hurt
Hurt in the heart
Hurt on the back
Back of the mind,
Back of what’s black
Black as a sentence
Black is a human.

Human. A person.
Human, we are?
We are just people.
We are not god.
God, you pretend
God made the rules.
The rules are still cruel
The rules have screwed you.

Screw you for not changing,
Screw you for your lies.
Your lies have unraveled,
Your lies eat a life.
A life may have fallen,
A life is still worthy.
Worthy of movement,
Worthy of change.
Change that must happen,
Change they scream now.

Now it must happen!
Now! It screams out.
