The Russian Resistance (Free Navalny)

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL DEMOCRACY


The Russian Resistance

 

Now more than ever we know

We are all in this together

Now more than ever we see

How small this world can be

Endless waves of oppression

Can sweep across the sea

Infecting freedom everywhere

Poisoning the air we breathe

Stifling free expression

Distorting what we hear and read

Twisting fundamental truth

Attacking democracy

 

Now more than ever we know

What happens in Moscow

Does not stay in Moscow

When the people of Russia

Stand up in defiant resistance

Free people everywhere

Must stand with them

 

People of Moscow and Vladivostok

Saint Petersburg and Kiev

We join our voices to yours

We hear you and applaud

We stand with you

We suffer with your suffering

We admire your courage

And demand with you

Change

 

Free Alexei Navalny!

Free Russia!

Liberate the world!
