Truth To Power
When Truth comes on the scene, it knocks falsehood (Power) brains out,
Coming like a thief in the dream, setting wrongs right including Trump’s clout.
Then those who scheme with fraud, the ones who’ve set the contradicting laws,
Running toward politics their god, will see The Truth while dying in applause.
They make you borrow money, even when you don’t want to- Credit Cards,
They start wars like it’s funny, loaning money to the countries they’ll soon discard.
They put Smallpox in blankets, damn shame sixty thousand ancestors gone,
They want me to forget shit, most people have already committed to that wrong.
They bombed a Black city, bombs worldwide with the biggest one in Japan,
They kill various ethnicities, but Truth is soon while they focus on the Blackman.
They are your open enemy, whether you are a true Christian, Muslim or Jew,
They’re surrounded by many waters, oceans, lakes, gulfs, rivers and falls,
They spend without real dollars; her fall will be hard because her flag stood tall.
They hate me and my ancestors, they were all Muslims, and you won’t even help,
They hate you but love bad debtors, percentages of interest the higher made yelp.
When Truth comes on the scene, it knocks falsehood (Power) brains out,
Coming like a thief in the dream, setting wrongs right including Trump’s clout.
Then those who scheme with fraud, the ones who’ve set the contradicting laws,
Running toward politics their god, will see The Truth while dying in applause.
About this poem
An activist is a person who campaigns for some kind of social change. When you participate in a march protesting the closing of a neighborhood library, you’re an activist. Someone who’s actively involved in a protest or a political or social cause can be called an activist. A revolutionist is someone who wants to change the world — not just sitting around talking about it, but actually doing something to bring about change.
