OCCUPY TULSA – PROTECTING THE DREAM
His dream is our democratic awakening
Through peaceful demonstration we celebrate the man
Inspired by his principles and teachings
In the spirit of his dream we make our stand
His message for jobs is our message
His war opposition our theme
His belief in social justice and equality
the root of our movements beliefs
The quality of humanity stands threatened
wealth inequality eradicates our core
Our middle class drifts into large black holes
As starvation wages despoil
The poorest of poor grow poorer
While corporations as people grow rich
Political undertones rape voter rights
Inequality in education still exists
Race has no place in American rights and laws
Poverty has no right to our shores
Disproportion can no longer bulldoze our dreams
Imbalance won’t pillage our core
His movement is now our movement
His message of resolution our text
We occupy for jobs peace and freedom
We occupy for equality and truth
He marched for economic justice
We occupy to flush corporate greed
Void violence he marched for freedom and peace
Void violence we occupy for change
