Hunger Strike
My stomach is empty for their rights
I am cleansing my body of political injustices
The system that teaches me is robbing others
I am the voice of those who work under you
This must stop
My stomach is empty for their rights
I will not consume your selfishness
Although you are founded by Thomas Jefferson,
You don’t represent a powerful advocate of liberty
This must stop
My stomach is empty for their rights
You mistreat the workers
You step on them with a measly 32 quarters an hour
While this institution sits on a chair of riches
This must stop
My stomach is empty for their rights
