We know the history that's given
The written one, that is
dark under belly hidden
The deceit, hypocrisy, self - serving
Buried in collective memories
A whitewashed history it is
A glowing facade to uphold
Venerated institutions
Tinsel presented as gold
raw reality repressed
In millions of suffering minds
For them each day a struggle
Each hour a challenge thrown
Lived, resisted on unequal grounds
More life sucking than battles fought
Hegemony built on subalterns
Unacknowledged, unappreciated
Surviving, thriving, empowering
Defying extinction all the time.
