Hold on to me
Don't let me go
Who cares what they see?
Who cares what they know?
Your first name is Free
Last name is Dom
We choose to believe
In where we're from
Man's red flower
It's in every living thing
Mind, use your power
Spirit, use your wings

When predators rattle cages
freedom’s prey sharpens its cause.
Street cats fighting white sheets
are multiplying faster than the
orange peal demagogue
piss staining civil rights.
The clowder can’t be lured
to eat poisoned meat
or nibble on lies to make peace.
A rainbow howl has more volume
than the thin lipped screeching
of raptors spewing hate.

To answer Jim's question I have never participated in a riot nor would I. I have participated in peaceful protests and stood up to the bullying of an uncle who was a member of the KKK and The American Nazi Party when he verbally attacked me about the religion and race of my friends.

Did you ever participate in a riot? Intensity multiplies.
