Pomona Speaks

steps get louder
shadows move faster
lies get bigger
motives get thicker

I shout for equal rights
I shout for fairness
I shout that you are all traitors
I shout so you can hear me
I shout for Pomona so you can hear her

our mouths kept silent for the sake of business
no moving, no talking, no feeling
oh so this is democracy where we shake hands behind dark walls
while our children are flipped back on fours forced to crawl crawl crawl

she said when she looked at the crowd she saw her neighbors
how could she forsake them, how could she forsake herself
a motion for justice, a motion for fairness
their mouths kept silent for the sake of business

this beating louder
we must not forsake ourselves
we can’t forsake her

I fight for equal rights
I fight for justice
I fight against all the fakes
I fight so you can hear me
I fight for Pomona so you can hear her
