Social & Progressive Poetry
Comrades
We gathered to speak our rights
They came and told us we have none
We resisted them with our fights
They called us names and snatched our bun.
They told everybody we were evil, enemies of the nation
Hypocrites with words and heckled our mission.
Some who did not believe their tongue
Were made to swear on god
They had to prove their innocence
With their hand on their children’s head
