“Refuse Fascism”: A Poem by LindoYes!

“Refuse Fascism” Spoken Word Performance

“Refuse Fascism” Lyrics

They want to cut family ties, that have been knotted since history,
With more stories than the tallest building,
Small, but we are building!
Brick by brick, from the wall they use to oppress us, to impress upon them!
We will...
Refuse Fascism
Resist Hatred 
Right wrongs of politicians singing the same song, when we got a different tune, that's the rhythm of our heart beat, that create a musical, that allow everyone to dance, take steps to their pursuit of happiness, and we ain't happy yet, we are upset, that why we are here!?!
Blood 
Sweat
Tears
Blood for the generation before and after that inherited this fight
Sweat as affirmation of the work we done, doing and continue to do
Tears for when we endure with and without
We are here!!!
Refusing Fascism
Resisting  Hatred 
Righting wrongs of politicians singing the same song, when we got a different tune, that's the rhythm of our heart beat, that create a musical, that allow everyone to dance, take steps to their pursuit of happiness,

That’s why we are here in pro test
