10,000 years, of rule and submission a social construction, widespread subjugation a calling for man, to reap and persist a surge of elitists, colonial demons waves of submission // spread through religion a social condition // masking exploitation systematic, implementation, patriarchal rise, through domination reigning supreme, through violence and greed authority vested, in men for their power casting // non-men // unsuited // for power we who were deemed fit casted aside the rest necessitation of domination, a tactic for rising, to slay and devour though once overt now is hidden, the anti-colonial struggle persists the separation of capitalism and male dominance is a false apprehension the spread of disparity flooding the lands, the labor of womyn branded for man false sense of nature masked by a book, upheld through the ages and praised as the norm grievous affliction will torture their souls, the hour is now for us to subvert and rise we are the wardens that confine our souls, we are the captors we seek to destroy we make our laws for profit to gain, standing on pillars of greed while the rest slip away profit has buried our culture in flames, the scripture contrived to cease power from non-men, workers rebuilt on foundations of lies, maintaining the norms that we see falsified we are the wardens that confine our souls, we are the captors we seek to destroy lef in the darkness until we can see, the power we hold and the privilege that still lies unseen.

Determination of a people, to over come faith in false nations commonwealth is stolen wealth, flames to their consecration machetes speak of blood a flood of hope bursting the lungs // death to their law, fire to their houses immortal death of pius paternalism // death to their law fire to their houses generations of desperation, of lost limbs and tortured souls subjected to the will of these demons, subjected to the vultures rule salcedo lured to inhale Guaorabo, with his las grasp a people understood three nights waited for the immortal to rise, three nights plotting for rebellion to rise and we'll dance on the ashes // of their colonial ruin and we'll dance on the ashes // of their imperialist nightmare economically driven migration, socially forced assimilation commonwealth is stolen wealth, corrupting minds with settler filth the supreme council gathered to witness the death of a god to inhale the hope it embodied, to celebrate the stench of decay they too bleed as men

As Aldebaran scorched the skies, entangled winds, inhaled fallout spreading toxins across vast miles, of Moana Nui to these forgotten isles arms en masse, far from sight, in the absence of Matari'i the follower shall burn bright, so will every star named for destruction manipulate // that you took necessary precautions exposure // cases recorded and discarded unrest // over 40 years of dissent countless are the numbers // of ta'ata who have attested against a world // were lives are fodder for the needs of forgiveness // and accountability process when will their pleads be heard? Moruroa, the site of horrors, to watch the sky melt, and an ocean collapse 41 aerial, 147 sous terre, gave birth to tsunamis, and earthen fractures used solely to abuse, linked in the chains of oppression, the "conquered" shall see the might of man made gods or will these gods reap their fruits of wrath? Fangataufa, this madness continues, endless bombardment, to improve our weak economic lives riddled with cancers and shortened lifespans, what good has it brought us? a modernized 21's century life used solely to abuse, linked in the chains of oppression, the "conquered" shall see the might of man made gods or will these gods reap their fruits of wrath? no more shall we be bound to chains, to be silenced and subdued, no longer are these crimes forgotten, we will live without tyranny.

Abolition 02:51
Neo-colonial rises, an oppressed bourgeoisie takes bait to climb capitals ladder, and a prison state for the rest steel cages hold a generation, of revolutionary leaders the nation deems forgotten war on drugs, and mandatory minimums, Jim Crowe manifest of settler Christendom, billion dollar enterprise, criminalizing communities racial profiling futures enforced through brutality our people prey on each other, internally colonized, our society crumbles, and services deteriorate undervalued education, fast food health care, social service band aids masking reality we are not safe // with ICE, prisons, or police our needs are not met // with an incarceration state communities criminalized // by the overseers law promised change kept in line // with a ballot or a stick excess workers criminalized, with the needs of capitalists detention and deportation, tools to make them rich privilege and scapegoating, dividing workers, reactionary politics, enforcing their boarders abolish the courts // raze the walls // community alternatives to capitalist law

Fading memories, of loved ones lost, remains of spirits, celebrated ghosts fading memories, unraveled threads, with dissonant hears, we bow our heads seeing the world through pried open eyes, drowning confusion to white out their lies faithless convictions conquered by time, distance between us, drawing these lines these demons we left // lied in our wake these demons we left // undermining our fate these demons we left // renewing pain these demons we left // struggle in vain air tightens our chest, naivety blurs our vision, escape embodies isolation, obscuring rescission the waking ground dissipates, the earth swallows whole, flames consume flesh, the demons taking toll artificial life, cheating our hearts, inevitable loss, promise departs artificial life, time taking friends, consummated crisis, absence descends fading memories, of loved ones lost, remains of spirits, celebrated ghosts fading memories, unraveled threads, with dissonant hearts, we honor our death no recompense, for fractured realities, isolated memories, of only you and me, regrets, for all our lives unlived, apologies, to that we can't forgive (or forget).

Rising // to meet the task // our birthright // to the very last our dreams // burning // unsettle our hearts and minds ancestral blood // reclaiming // our destiny // unleashing their manifest // up in flames // their gods will be damned trading our souls for merely means, embedded norms to always keep they've trained us all for centuries, to keep at bay while they conquer for greed decimate our dreams from ever being, theres no coincidence this is a strategy our will is torn and limbs still bleed, subjugated by tyranny they've closed our eyes, and cloaked their lies, to burn out what fire remains inside let's seize the time, together we'll bind, unleash what we've planned for sometime exploited forms of profiting, impoverished souls oppressed for centuries repetitive and degrading, to what end will they precede? we'll watch their houses slowly burn, feel something more than apathy children starved of nurturing // shackled and torn used as machines appropriate their policies // to invoke new forms of slavery torn away from what they've known // blood where the rivers once flowed stripped of their lives and fed from dirt // chastised for asserting their own worth we remain they've closed our eyes, and cloaked their lies, to burn out what fire remains inside let's seize the time, together we'll bind, unleash what we've planned for sometime exploited forms of profiting, impoverished souls oppressed for centuries repetitive and degrading, to what end will they procede? we'll watch their houses slowly burn, feel something more than apathy they cease at nothing for their greed, we've compromised enough to see subvert // set flame // refute // reclaim they perish, we remain
