so here’s the time
and this is us
the who we are
for now

but then again
of course it’s just
we’ve always been
and how

again our peeps
before and always
storied by our shame

too often steeped
in hateful violence
stupidity and blame

a nation built
by stolen souls
on these
our stolen lands

their blood we’ve spilt
for whom to hold
supreme
by god’s own righteous hand

far from conceptual
we’re so exceptional
as our open-carried guns

we are the ones

the who
this thing
that we’ve become

it’s us and thus
what’s all the fuss

No Justice/No Peace
