A line

standing  together in a perfect line

they don’t shout, they don’t move, no facial expression

simply looking forward with a vision

the air is calm and warm

once in a while you’ll see a dried up leave

dancing in the street

they hold strong, this people with a similar bond

burning buildings in the back

screaming babies, minority been attack

robbing and stealing of our rights

yet no one looks back, tears fall from there eyes

sweat pours down there forehead

yet no motion, no sound, grim face never look down

ready to attack, begin a war

no rifles, no knifes

just thesaurus, dictionaries on there backpacks

speeches of  lucy parsons,

books of a new form of libertad

no sounds, no emotions just a line formed

no viva la raza, no brownpride, no black panthers

just a united front

all together with a line,

is not a who can scream and show of the most

yet who has the will to stand strong

real revolution, real minds

tired of this world taking advantage of our souls

we must unify and act as one, no need to shout

the most talk able people are always in the back

stand together in a perfect line

they don’t shout, they don’t move

no facial expression simply looking forward with a vision

air is calm  and warm

ready to demonstrate what a united front may bring
