Hunger Strike

Location

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
