The People, Our People Of The Land Poem by Hebert Logerie

The People, our People
Who are black, yellow, and white
Brown, green, or even purple
Come join the right
BATTLE
Come join the struggle
To fight
And to win the right
BATTLE
Of justice, fairness, liberty
Freedom, respect, and equality.

Wake-up, get-up, and stand
For what is right and just
In this beautiful land
Stop playing with lust
And rusty ideas of racism
We can defeat fascism
Together
We can win the right
BATTLE
As we fight
Together.

As we are united
And fight together
Against the crooked
Racist, sexist, free-loader
Narcissist, liar, backstabber
Wishy-washer, flip-flopper
Hypocrite and aggressor
If we stand
Together in this land
We will win the right
BATTLE
For the People, our People
Who are black, brown, and white
Yellow, green, or even purple.
