2016

I remember

A lifetime ago

People weren’t sheep

They stood up

Demanded to be heard

When something was wrong

To be counted

To speak out

Some were arrested

Some were beaten

But still their voices were heard

They became American heroes

Legends in their own time

Now, the heroes are all gone

But, the sheep remain

Listening to the lies, hatred and corruption

Voting for a candidate without a question

Without asking why

Time has come again

To raise your voice

Carry a sign

March down the street

Demand to be heard

Fight to change the world

And don’t listen to those who take the podium

They will lie

Tell you what you want to hear

Just so they can be called president

Just listen to your heart

And never give up the fight
