We Must Resist
Peter Howitt
<1 min read·
They'll try
To cut
The threads
That bind us
To freeze
The love that flows
Between us
So they can
Segregate or
Imprison us
They'll try
To quell
Our 'slave' rebellion
They aim
To kill
Simple compassion
To make
Each heart
Cold tomb
And catacomb
Made ready
To hold
Our murdered
Souls
Now
For the violence and hurt
The perversion of truths
The banning of books
Blood libels and lies
And nature's
Driving force
(Life's universal
Truth)
On trial
Diversity
Defamed
A dirty word
And Gaia enwhored
Defiled
Who will halt
This Harvest of Hate?
We are not
Self-sovereign states
We must protect each other
As sister and brother
We must resist
The Men
Who will
(For starters)
Wolf down
Our children
We must resist
The Rapist
The Sadist
And Liar
We are the flames
We carry the fire
