Fight For Freedom

Fight for freedom

I dreamt we cut their heads off
The counter-revolutionaries who resisted
The rising of the masses

Their era ended
Our liberation began
Then reality time chimes in
Is this new world at hand?

Not in my land,
Nor in others fighting back
A party is what we lack
Leading, feeding, reflecting
Our thirst for freedom
From exploitation and oppression
And to democracy

Being free
Is not a state of mind
But of systemic change
And a new reality
Join us, join me
In this fight for our liberty
