House on Fire.

Adrian de León

--

The culture has us in boxes
Hunting for trash like foxes
Media misdirects our anger
Whistling to another banger
See my wording as misplaced
See the lies that we’re faced
Feel the pressure on our neck
On the ship we sit on the deck
Captains reside in their cabin
The new world forgot Aladdin
The oppressor lifts the veil
Oppositions remains frail
Propelling our anger vertically
Ignoring patterns laid historically
Greed, money blinds the righteous
Equality is merely ostentatious
Hand in hand we search for peace
House on fire — we end the lease
