They think they are above
Not realizing that it is feeding the very corruption they despise of
The voice of humanity is the one we need to hear
When you turn a blind eye what wins is the seat of fear
The people of my past, native, black and womankind
Denied this privileged voice, still today are left behind
Disenfranchised are the ones kept away from knowledge’s door
The common link of suffering, treading vastly on the poor
We can call them out together with awareness and a care
This vehicle democracy will no doubt get us there
It takes some time and doing
Dr King would proudly say
Shut down complacent blindness
Transform indifference
Now
Today
