The Last Words of Kevin Zeese

Описание: Today would have been Kevin Zeese's 65th birthday. Soon after he died last month, his partner and co-conspirator, Margaret Flowers, wrote about the last speech that Kevin gave, shortly before he died. I made it rhyme. Rest in peace, dear Kevin Zeese.

Lyrics:

The Last Words of Kevin Zeese

I woke up one morning, on September 6
To find out that the movement had one less mover in the mix
I had just heard him speak a couple days before
A voice I won't hear in live form anymore
Only on recordings now, because he has been released
So let's take a moment to remember the last words of Kevin Zeese

Power to the people is how he started out
Watch these movements growing, and what they're all about
This is how change happens, with the people in the street
He said we should not be deterred if we meet defeat
The wall looks so unbreakable, then the light shines through a crease
Let's take a moment to remember the last words of Kevin Zeese

He said Trump is the worst president I've seen in all my years
But all the suffering from Joe Biden, who could count the tears
He supported each inequity I ever fought to stop
From mass incarceration to ghettos full of killer cops
So let's keep on moving towards the day when both these parties cease
Let's take a moment to remember the last words of Kevin Zeese

He said we see this decade as one of transformation
With movements coming together all across this nation
From the movement for Black lives to the 99%
From Fight for 15 to those striking for the rent
And only if we fight for it might we know justice and peace
Let's take a moment to remember the last words of Kevin Zeese
