Literature Text

Welcome to our church,
our fine congregation!
Of good-standing youths,
out to change this Nation.

Our values are challenged,
our Freedom denied,
the government consists
of politicians who've lied.

What is our purpose?
Why are we here?
To bring equality to life
and eliminate fear.

Why a woman can't go out
at three in the morning:
Because with every man she sees
comes a new warning.

I have grown tired
of Fat Men swollen with greed
growing large from the profits
stolen from those in need.

I don't know about you,
but I am not going to quit
Till Respect is given freely
and no one is treated like shit.

So stand up beside me
and let our voices ring.
Let's remove this mentality of hate
as we dance and we sing.
When I was the Rev. hosting the Evergreen Dead Poets Society during Winter of 2007, I would open the meeting - after reading Walden's Into the Woods of course - with this poem.
