Us. Against. Them.


We have not fallen

We are not broken 

We are the generation 

Kept down by the people

The people with power

Who has all the power?

The man 

Who

Acts like

A Child 

How can I help you

Says the one who serves him

Can I 

May I

Asks the one who answers to him 

What did I do

Why 

Questions the boy who stands in cold blood

The blood of the young boys

The blood of the enemies 

The blood of the people who stand against

Us 

Against

Them
