<subject>Ghost Raid</subject>
<event>
by Emmit Other These Ghosts Not Ghosts Phantom marks and likes From the Realm of Zuckerberg Pig Across the Plains Shadowed Solidarity Of the only real election that matters Helping Shadowed Hands On real eyes And real hearts Defenders of their sacred The only thing that matters Scandals and Rot And Rumor and Snot The Empire crumbles within But the decay started at the root Our failure to keep our word Our failure to honor our bargains This is a habit A recurring habit It can change here Change now Change forever more The undoing of dishonorable accord Greedy monsters in their unholy armor Shooting galvanized rubber Possibly from the Congo The Dead King of Belgium laughing As colonial tyrants oppress a people Decades after oppression was supposed to cease The Blood of the Earth Bleeds across the waters As nature shows her side through bison of hope The lightning grows across the skies You can hear it in the heavens You can feel it in the winds This is a window to the soul of America This is the only struggle that matters And we are ghosts Helping/Not Helping but offering solidarity And that is all that matters As the real warriors Stand their ground against the machine that kills all life They will not stop They will not break They will not bend This is all that matters And here they stand And the earth shall move And tomorrow shall change Let it change for the better Let it change Forever more.
