We Need a Holiday
We need a holiday
One free from remembering
pain
I'm tired of remembering the
fallen
People dying for no reason
Fighting to achieve equality
We need a holiday
Free from all that we know
Reminding us of terrorist
Segregation and class
distinction
Political leaders taking from the
poor
We need a holiday
One that don't remind us death
of our people
One free of reminding us to
hold on
One not related to violence
A holiday where everybody
lives
We need a holiday
One where the poor has
enough to eat
A job for all
A day where I can walk the
streets in safety
