Leaving


In a room full of hostility

You stand out

With the crowd around you

Moving about

 

With the world closing in

And the danger is near

The people coming for you

Your choice is clear

 

It’s time to go

Time to leave this place

A world full of hate

And much disgrace

 

When you’ve been pushed too far

And have had enough

If it’s left or right

You choose up
