On Boston green,
Did snowballs fly,
To rip usurped,
Authority from,
Red coat thugs.
They fired.
On Minneapolis street,
Did resistance fly,
To rip usurped,
Masculinity from,
ICE Incel thugs,
They fired.
In nation’s hearts,
Does grief well up?
Does resolve usurp,
Stolen authority from,
Historic foe?
We must fire!
