Who are we

Who are we

A Poem by Jackie
"

With the luxury of life threatened daily at the edge of a knife

"
Who are we to just stand by
To live comfortably in a lie
As the corrupt live so high
While we barely make it by

Who are we with the luxury of life
Threatened daily at the edge of a knife
To hide and not fight to survive

Who are we to not question
To deny this big confession
Witness all the oppression
Or reason behind recession

Who are we to breathe
With no strength or belief
To stay humble on our feet

Who are we to accept defeat
When were blindsided by deceit
Who are we to allow to be beat
Our courage depletes, we won't compete

Who are we when we refuse the truth
Who are we when we deny the proof
Who are we hanging from the noose

When they refuse to let loose
When its the enemy you choose
When paralyzed by the news
When you deny the truth, who are you
