As of today
My friends no longer have rights.
Their lives are not protected by
The state constitution.

Their civil liberties gone
Because of weak men.
Because of weak women who
Protect cowardly men.

They say, "We'll all die someday"
And shrug their shoulders.
As if it's out of their hands
When they've calculated this.

They wait til midnight hours
To pass criminal bills.
They bury our futures in the
Small print of 'lesser' concerns.

The world is screaming
And my heart is heavy.
This is day one.
