What’s freeing about watching kids die?
What’s freeing watching politicians lie?
Do you feel free when mothers cry?
Oh but of course what do you care?
Believing you’ll be a millionaire.
Voting to strip away others freedom,
While claiming to be prolife and family.
What an utter joke the party of values!
And it’s willful ignorance! useless!
Do you feel free making others suffer?
Oh surely you must have a proud mother.
That you vote to strip away her rights too!
And your children must be so proud of you!
As they cower in fear in the back of a classroom.
But sure America is freedom! You say
And it’s true, it’s freedom for cis white men
Just like you.

Tired
By Damien Knight
I’m tired, tired of the death
Of the spread of blood
Tired of the gunshots
Taking those beloved
Early to their graves
I’m tired of thought and prayers
That don’t save
The innocents lost
I’m tired
But nothing is done
Because who cares the cost
Take our guns,
Our freedom they shriek
What about the church
The praying meek
Their freedom less than?
But I’m tired
Of this being our stance
Do we not care?
What of the children?
The weeping moms
When, when
Did we despise youth
That a school shooting, ignored
I’m tired of terror
Being dismissed
But most of all
I’m just tired of all this!

World of Hate
By Damien Knight
A delight in the eyes
A pleasure to the taste
Are your sordid lies
Of vile hate
The masses eat it
Gobble like wasted children
Eating their own shit
Such awful men
This world is filled out
With bitter jealousy
Ignorance that shouts
Hate them don’t look at me
They are other, disgust
In their voices they cry
Spite and mistrust
They believe your lies
And I rage and rage
Against this world of hate
Fighting the cage
That feels like fate

Against the Politician
By Damien Knight Getting rich off others misery Slay the poor and feed your greed You spare no pity for common man And I would spare you no sympathy / Delighting in human suffering You feed on others worth I see it in your eyes, no remorse For the darkness you bring / You claim to be our freedom But you’re rope is our binds You placate the people With half truths and colourful lies / But I see…
Against the Politician
By Damien Knight
Getting rich off others misery
Slay the poor and feed your greed
You spare no pity for common man
And I would spare you no sympathy
/
Delighting in human suffering
You feed on others worth
I see it in your eyes, no remorse
For the darkness you bring
/
You claim to be our freedom
But you’re rope is our binds
You placate the people
With half truths and colourful lies
/
But I see through your game
The people won’t stand by
And watch rights strip away
In this generation we demand change
/
We strip off your words
And deny your bigotry
We will be our own freedom
We will rise from poverty
