Justice, Equality, Compassion, Human!

i spit hammers and nails, can taste bullets and swords. my eyes are the bodies of the innocent that lay dying. my fingers touch the ribs of small children starving. my tongue's made of coal dust, oil, and death by profit! my ears hear the cry of freedom from the cells of the oppressor. my heart sleeps neath the bridge with the homeless family at night. my fists smash the lie and the liar both, my arms carry the weight of the working class's lives. covered with the stink of poverty, i shed the clothes of pretensions, apathy, and human greed. and my desire grows hard when i see a better day... my back bears the stripes of man's mistakes and failures... i cry justice, i am equality, i breathe compassion, i am human!
