99%


What if the sky was yellow and the sun was blue?
What if money did not affect if you have a home the same time next year?
Impossible, right?
We are the 99% that are not rich
We are the 99% who do have to worry about bills getting paid each month
But are the 99% with a voice that can be heard all around the world
Even though we are frowned upon by the 1%
Though we are the reason that the 1% are rich
I mean who else lunch money would they steal and be able to get away with it
We are all against bullies
So it’s about time we stand up to the biggest bully of them all
We were born free
So why can’t we all live free?
Why cant we all be equal?
It is not a racial thing
It is more like a money thing
But when did green paper decide where and how should we live
When did green paper become a barrier and seperate mankind
This movement right here
Is going to change the world for the better
This movement will finally make us a whole
