Same Old Story

Amelia Cabantog

Everyday the news replays the same old stories.

So, and so, died

So, and, so was deported

So, and, so's rights are being taken away.

Meanwhile a mother is crying because her baby is slowly dying

And a brother is screaming because he doesn't know how to cope with all of his feelings

And a girl is lying broken, in a bed she did not make.

The people outside are screaming and shouting, and crying and bleeding on the streets,

But they remain unseen, and unheard.

They're fighting for rights that we've already had to fight for before

And history is repeating itself in…
