Occupy: a sit-in peace-cry

one percent of citizens
set the world agenda
dictate the wealth
our health / our salaries
the world / the way
the weather

we pit non-violent disobedience
against hardcore corporate greed:
the sit-in of the century
is taking back the streets
from banks
& bombs
& bullies
mismanagment
& unrest

from dishonesty
delusion
deceptiveness
& excess
from corporations / politicians
cops / locks / lies
& institutions

it’s stand-up of the century
OCCUPY / the revolution

OCCUPY will not be televised
it happens in real time
OCCUPY has no borders
& OCCUPY will not take lives
OCCUPY will not cost money
OCCUPY does not take sides
OCCUPY is for decency
& OCCUPY stands for life


OCCUPY is all agendas
OCCUPY is every faith
OCCUPY is every human
every history
every race

OCCUPY is for equality
& dignity
& change

OCCUPY has no logo
& OCCUPY is every face

OCCUPY is every chance
& opportunity
& day

it’s every voice
& vote
& victim:
jobs food
justice
education

OCCUPY is empowerment
solidarity
& choice

OCCUPY is a catalyst
OCCUPY is a voice

to the one percent of citizens
who set the world agenda
dictate the wealth
our health / our salaries
the world / the way
the weather

it’s non-violent disobedience
against hardcore corporate greed:
it's the sit-in of the century
& it’s taking back the streets
