A Poem For Move

Move (for water contaminated flint, for pam, ramona and the move 9)
By ‘bro.zayid’   
 
“say, we better run on...
See what the end is gonna bring
“Say, we better run on…
See what the end is gonna bring…”
                        -freedom song
 
When the time has come
Move…
Once u get clear
Move…
Once u get ready
Move
Once u get set
Move…
Once the light comes on
Move
Once the toxic smoke clears
Move
Once the truth arrives
Sledgehammer hard and heavy
Move…
Once u’ve had enuf
Move…
Once u’ve done yr work
Move
Once the children and elders are secured
Move
Once yr allies are with u.
Move…
Once the spirit of justice stirs like hot stew
Move…
Once yr down
Get up
Move…
When the word is given
When the drum sounds
When the time has come
For the precious air we share
For the water for tongue and skin
Get ready
Get set
For love for liberation
For life
Move! Move! Move!
Goddamnit, move!
 
“say, we gonna run on
See what the end is gonna bring…”
