We Need a Holiday

We need a holiday One free from remembering pain I'm tired of remembering the fallen People dying for no reason Fighting to achieve equality We need a holiday Free from all that we know Reminding us of terrorist Segregation and class distinction Political leaders taking from the poor We need a holiday One that don't remind us death of our people One free of reminding us to hold on One not related to violence A holiday where everybody lives We need a holiday One where the poor has enough to eat A job for all A day where I can walk the streets in safety
