Dirt
No Plagiarism!B32X5q9psBdqWP4qD1Yuposted on PＥNAＮＡ

The sickness starts at the start

It starts at your heart

It starts at the seed

That’s put in the dirt

We live in this system

Live in this place

Minds stuck in prison

Die without grace

The bosses they rule

The workers stay quiet

But we are not fools

We will fight and riot

The very first worker

On this bloodied earth

I hear their hushed whisper

That we must rebirth

The world as it was

Before all the classes

Before all the wars

That slaughter the masses

The emblem of now

The seed in the dirt

We will burn it down

No more will we hurt

Graffitied in blood

Sung in a chorus

Freshly-picked buds

Fly back to the forest
