Righting Riots Through Writing.

"The fight for the city I consider home, the city I love."
Portland.
What do we do when we’re so discouraged?
Become inspired and encouraged!!
How should we find achievement?
You'll experience bereavement.
We'll grieve for a period of time
for the city, we knew
we'll have to witness the needless crime
in their attempt to overcome & win their coup.
We'll scream, cry, and want to deny
we won't believe the things they do
or all the bullshit they throw at you.
Never give up for that's what they want
they want to injure, they want to haunt
they want to scare us away
make life so shitty we've no desire to stay.
Don't give up yet, make a choice
to fight, to win take away their voice.
It'll be demanding,
a lot of confusion
there's no understanding
of their ideals of delusion.
It's an illusion, everything they say is unproven.
Stay with your fight
You know WE ARE RIGHT!
The truth needs no defending
there's no pretending
to make things look better than they are.
Can't say how it'll end, but we've come this far.
Be willing to wake up another day
to fight and make this city better.
BE the go-getter.
This is OUR home, our place to stay!
