The Current System


Oppression isn't always conceived by oppressors

but is always by the oppressed

guided by ignorance to follow successors

which will never leads to success

 

Education 's the key to our prison

it lies just beyond the cell

harder to grasp as the years pass by

becoming harder to tell

 

A change needs to come

not by those who proclaim it

but by those who live in this hell

 

If a change is to come

then the people must know 

that the change must come from them
