soon

So many of my generation who fought the good fight

Sadly could not stay the course when life pulled on us

With our great leaders assassinated or imprisoned

And I count myself among those who dropped away.

Consumed in bad marriages I could not find my way

To overthrow the old order when my life was such distress

Though I did what I could in my small way

Representing at work and in the community.

The singers of our anthems now dead or depressed

May no longer inspire the change we rose up to bring

But the youth of today have their eyes on the prize

And I do believe they will seize the moment this time.

A generation of women and people of color

Speaking truth to power so clear and on point

Soon will ask us to answer the call when they sound it

To sweep away all the racist misogynist warmongers.

To take power out of the hands of the ruling class

Who profit from division setting us against each other

To create a new state to really serve and protect

When government exists for the benefit of us all.
