BURN THE DEAD LEAVES

by TERENCE AARON




I see something wrong with this country,
Everybody seems trying to control one another,
I don’t think that is true authority,
What happened to representing the weaker?

//

Slowly my faith on this land erodes,
Headlines are now owned by nationalist,
I loose every ounce of good hope,
I see rhetoric of only the racist,

//

Since when that is the state narrative,
Violent groups sprout to control beliefs,
Good men should stop being passive,
Time for us to burn the dead leaves,

//

Holy words are taken away,
For the exclusive use of a few,
Atheists and agnostics should also stay,
When good men run, what happened to the Jews?

//

Burn the dead leaves, burn the dead leaves,
Don’t let the rotten rule our nation,
Burn the dead leaves, burn the dead leaves,
Only stop when they start being tolerant,

//

Burn the dead leaves, burn the dead leaves,
We should protest until rights are restored,
Burn the dead leaves, burn the dead leaves,
Diversity should be within our core
