The Earth’s Wretched break free.
Forgotten. He’ll be gotten.
Of lowly birth. High and most, hated most, The Wretched of the Earth.
Called the criminal element, irrelevant to the power elite.
By them unprotected, but expected to bow at their feet.
Not me. My sights are set on the only solution – to inverted world-building people’s revolution.
Dethrone the rich, switch the status quo, convert the ignorant and poor into those that know.
Reduce the high to the low,
Dispossess them, redistribute wealth – the poor don’t need divine help to bless them.
Through collective struggle we the have-nots can meet our own needs, pooling what all we’ve got.
Cooperation, not competition, like the Panthers talk.
This is the war that must be fought. Not over races, geographical spaces, or gender divide.
These are diversions that disguise the true oppressors that hide – behind political deceptions of democratic rules.
It’s the rich who have power and consider the rest of us fools.
They teach us to admire and aspire to be like them, cut others’ throats, and gloat on wealth and whim.
An uncouth and bewildered herd is what they call us, proclaiming an unwritten right to rule over all of us.
We must dethrone them if we’re ever to be free, a truth no owner wants slaves to see.
So the world’s workers and the press must unite.
Join the ranks of the people army and fight.
Because the rich will never give what the people ask for.
We must take power united in class war.
We can counter their war machine that encircles the globe,
Pretending to champion freedom, but holding the world in a chokehold.
Once in America, we wake up, take up the struggle right here, the entire world can finally break free of this imperialist nightmare.
This is Kevin Rashid Johnson from the razor wire plantations of America.
