Champions of Life

No one has a monopoly on life. No matter the money.

No matter the money.

No matter the power.

No one has a monopoly on life.

No matter the history.
No matter the knowledge.
No matter the power.
No matter the knowledge.
No matter the desire.
No matter the innocence.

No one has a monopoly on life.

Life is anti-trust.

And we’ve just been busted.

And we’re all just children, really.

Just children, trying the best we can

to feel safe

to feel loved

We’re all just children, really.

And so now…as the dust settles and the lies become apparent
and inexcuseable
and full of death
and full of harm
and full of death
and full of violence
and full of the worst
and full of the worst
and full of the worst.

As we wake up to how bad it’s been
As we wake up to how bad we’ve been
As we wake up to how we’ve hurt our children
As we wake up…
As we wake up…

We will never go back to sleep.

Art will take over now.
Piercing
and in all forms
It will pierce the veil of our solitude
and our meaninglessness
it will fill spaces so full of passion and life
that fear will have no place
and we will become champions.

We will become Champions of Life.
