Written for the October, 2009, uprising in Philadelphia to stop the imperial war machine. No more war, forever! Rain or shine, our spirits and numbers are growing!
Rise up with the sun all ye prisoners Smash off the tyrants’ chains We’ll take these streets as winners Leave in our cells, the prisoners’ pain We march to end the imperial wars And stand up for the suffering classes Pluck the war lords from their cigar bars These tyrants can kiss our asses >From Corruption Hall to the broken bell We sing and we march and we dance We say, “no more will we burn in your hell Nor kill with your mace and lance.” The children won’t die for silver and gold For your honor and glory and God Freedom’s for people to love and grow old War lords destroy all the children of God Rise up, rise up, all ye comrades this day Take your brothers and sisters by arm >From this day, our mighty power will prey No more mothers and children they’ll harm. Profiteers and tyrants will crumble with fear Before our might, they tremble and fall Rise up, all ye comrades and let out a cheer We’ll take back this world for all! (This poem is free for all the people fighting imperial wars. The sun shines brightly in our hearts!) In 2009, the imperial war lords and their imperial war industry had been killing, torturing, and ruining lives for many many years. The war lords’ slaves were frightened addicted prisoners kept helpless by brainwashing and useless trinkets. In October, the prisoners around the nation rose up and would never be chained again. They declared no more wars, forever! We will be free forever more! And the imperial war lords crawled into dark dank holes never again able to harm the children of earth. ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
