Idle No More

Scattered bravery can and will unite!

Come together and let us stand up for our rights!

Let our voices ascend from this condescending lament!

Rise up and fight against the bitter injustice to the very end!

-
Generations have come and passed
But here has come a time
Where this bloodline may be the last

This is what we call life
Choked by the government's grasp
And abiding by the lies they hurl in a mass


Promises were disguised / Words were lies
We couldn't cross that line / A law where corruption aligns

A home that I can't call mine / A reservation to silence the mourning
A place for the shame they hide / A destruction that is considered fine

An agreement made into a mistake / Our relations were falsely created
Your smiles were feigned / For our own sake

There's countless victims of your crusade / Can't let history repeat this way
Rebuttal the decisions you made / reinvoke the culture you stripped away


Children that don't get to be
Exist inside of fear's heart
They experience withering necessities

Their eye's continue to grow dark
Among the blind only we can see
The dying breed that we're fighting for

-
Stay strong and stand tall!

Don't let your tears of hope crumble!

We will no longer be ignored!

For we will idle no more!
No, No more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced

I see pain
I see need
I see liars and thieves
Abuse power with greed

I had hope
I believed
But I'm beginning to think that I've been deceived

You will pay for what you've done

No More Sorrow - by Linkin park

It’s a real shame the majority of Canada’s population are easily manipulated by media channels, I’m sick of hearing underhanded racism and plain ignorance... when you ask these people (white Canadians) if they’ve ever heard of NeoLiberalism they think you’re talking about Trudeau, honestly I’m grown tired of trying to tell people what is going on... let them support their PM and we’ll see how well they’re all doing 20 years from now when their grandchildren are born looking like malformed amphibians.
Canada is lost!
