TURNITUP!
WAYUP!
whatnowkevin?
the rich cry louder
the weaker poor plea for help
republicans proposing cuts
in assistance to those 
with empty pockets
republicans decry the homeless 
republicans feel entitled to respect
republicans fear the lesser stable
calls for white christian nation
is a dangerous threat to all
a threat to the stability of written in stone
constitutionally protected and guaranteed rights
rights of freedom of speech
rights of separations of church and state
rights of equal justice 
for rich 
for poor
for red 
orange 
yellow 
green
blue 
indigo 
violet
including black and white 
grays included
from the field migrants that harvest your meals
to the teachers professors and masters of craft
that pay forward their gained knowledge
to those serving in the national armed forces
army
navy 
air force
marines 
coast guard
and now space force
standing as deterrent 
as protector 
as honor
each and all are protected
each and all are guaranteed
each and all are equal
so goes the parchaments 
the racist deny
the rules of the road democracy
the worn path of those before
the carving of liberties
an expression of rights
a contract from up top
to those below
exceptions for blacks
exceptions for reds
for browns
yellows
the mixed
the half breeds
the bi-racial
one exception one rule
you don't matter
we don't care
we know we are poor
we know we are cannon fodder
we know you don't care
we know you
our survival is
upon us alone
certainly vulnerable
most fearful
we must all become
warriors for our lives
