RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: POEMICS
Fight Back
Resist
Fight back
Seize the day
Let them know
There will be a price to pay
A landlord serves eviction notice
To a community of seniors
In a recreational vehicle park
They have nowhere to go
But they cannot stay
Resist
Fight back
Stand in their way
Let them know
There will be a price to pay
A Canadian oil company
Wants to drive a pipeline
Straight through Indian land
They claim there is
No other way
Resist
Fight back
Seize the day
Let them know
There will be a price to pay
A coal company stakes claim
To a beautiful lake in Michigan
The land the air the water
The wildlife and ecosystem
All will be thrown astray
Resist
Fight back
Seize the day
Let them know there will always be
A price to pay
Everywhere injustice raises its ugly head
Everywhere greed and avarice
Fill our pipes with lead
Every time the one percent
Bumps the price of bread
We must rise as one to say:
Resist
Fight back
Seize the day
Let them all know
There is always a price to pay
