Mumia
Mumia lives in a place that should
not exist
A result of a mockery they call a
trial
The world proclaims injustice,
many insist
Still the system is in defiant
denial
I do not glory in the death of any
man
Yet how much can we take?
We rise against oppression to do
the best we can
Day after day you inflict us with
your lies
The cause for justice we will
never forsake
Allmighty God, He hears our cries
Allmighty God, Him you cannot fool
Or shut him out with your actions
cruel
So Mumia lives, three stone walls
and an iron gate
These are the manifestations of
When you want us to kill for the
flag we are brothers all
Come serve your country that is
the call
And in return you make us sit and
wait
Herded in your ghettos you try to
educate
And when we act on the lessons you
teach
When we speak our mind and
practice free speech
You send in the police, the FBI and CIA
And heroes like Mumia are taken away
An honest day in court
Is what we require
That would retort
And quench this fire
Instead Mumia sits condemned on
death row
In a tormented existence that few
do know
A political prisoner an unwilling
symbol
You can bind the man but not the
soul
Mumia these words I write
And promise never to give up the fight
