This Is Not a War AJJ

This is not a war
It's a conversation about what people really need
Fear is a poison
It breeds violence
And apathy and greed
So people occupy the streets
So they can occupy the hearts of the fearful
This is not a war
It's a conversation about what people really need

This is not a movement
It's a body's immune system reacting to a disease
It's been trying to cure cancer with echinacea
Vitamin C and lots of sleep
Now the tumor got so big
That the blood cells have started to speak
This is not a movement
It's a body's immune system reacting to a disease

This is not a protest
It's a tortoise slowly pushing through a race
I hope the tortoise keeps its patience
While the hare continues to pepper spray its face
Unconditional positive regard to the ones who hurt you
They're just scared
This is not a protest
It's a tortoise slowly pushing through a race
