Them and Us

They make us swallow our silent words

They're still afraid that we'll be heard

And though we've always been pushed down

We somehow get up off the ground


I can't imagine why they hate

The ones they say are nature's fate

Or why they smile as we get up

Like we are naive, small, baby pups


And as they see we are not falling

Down, they fear us growing

Stronger, and they turn it to hate

They burn the monsters that they create


Intoxicated by the drug of power

The start burning us by the hour

They are addicted to pushing us down

And when we drag them with us, they have the nerve to frown
