For Our Freedom

For our freedom

My world is dying
Death becomes her
Or suits her

Her? What machismo is this?
The fake masculinity that rises from
Their system of profit

It is changing
From male bosses
To male bosses and some women
An equal opportunity that keeps ravaging us
As workers, women and men
In the name of more money
For them
To reinvest in more capital
And more exploitation

There is no end
Unless we do it, ourselves
Rising together against
The bosses
Our gains, their losses

Rejoice, a new world is coming
I hear it drumming
At their fences
Hence their tenseness

Rejoice, revolt
Two words of wisdom
So far unheeded
But oh so needed
Until we act
For our freedom
For our freedom

"Rejoice, revolt" - there is such a contrast in feelings, and both are exactly right!
