By David Meyerhoff
Our stomachs are turning
As the slavemaster’s whip is burning.
Lessons we are learning
As viewpoints are turning.
How many more children caged
Until you really get enraged?
As they turn the Nazi page,
It’s ICE/SS that must be disengaged.
Now that it’s here,
Now that it’s clear,
We must show no fear
And ring the bells of liberty
For all to hear!
If you find yourself walking through that Arbeit Mach Frei gate,
Then you’ll know it’s too late
And Make Fascism Great
Will be the slogan of the State.
So will you challenge this tyranny
Or sit back and engage in complicity?
Now we must come together
Regardless of the weather,
Honor our diversity,
Unite in our commonality,
Grasp and enrich the universality
Of our Humanity.
We must bring every soul
Into freedom as our goal.
Every challenge we shall meet!
Every attack we will defeat!
We shall not stand idly by-
Rather we will take up the cry
Of all
Oppressed
Surpressed
Repressed
People
Here and around the world!
We must not let them down-
Drive out the Orange Clown!
It’s up to you and me
To Fight Back
In Unity
As millions
For all to see!
