Crushed Under the Cross
May 14th, 2024 19:15 UTC
Neon crosses blind us, crushing dreams Sacred words twist to chains, crushing dreams Preaching love but practicing only hate Marginalized fates remain, crushing dreams Rainbow flags torn, identities spurned Brown skin threats ordained, crushing dreams Walls built high with hypocrite prayers Desperate cares disdained, crushing dreams Their paradise, a hell for the oppressed Christo-fascist reign crushing dreams Thoughts and prayers become our bullets Suffocating truths profaned, crushing dreams From these ashes, we'll rise stronger still Your cross's power waned, crushing dreams
