STRIKE

The pictures we see are alarming
American soldiers in masks
Attacking and beating the People
doing all that Trump orders and asks

Every person ignoring the violence
who believes they are safe and secure
Will regret that they all shrugged their shoulders
just because their own freedom was sure

When their neighbors begin disappearing 
they no longer see some of their friends 
When the chaos arrives at their doorstep 
and the safety they felt quickly ends 

It will then be too late for a protest
all the lies will have taken a toll
And the coup that the Trumper is leading 
will be in its last stage of control

It will never be won without conflict 
opposition is always the key 
It arrives when the people join forces 
because freedom is never for free

It is time to turn off all the faucets
call for strikes, stop the money machine
Because all that they want are your taxes
all that they crave is the green 

We, the People, have all of the power
everyone holds a purse in their hand
And if we call for strikes, and stop working 
we will rule on this sweet freedom land
