You call me radical because I am for peace

You call me radical because I denounce your wars

You gave me a green card and thought you bought my silence

You gave me a passport and thought you earned my bias

You gave me Dollars and expected to own my heart

You claim you gave me freedom to speak yet you want me quiet

You call me radical because I won’t pick up a gun

You call me radical because I denounce your violence

You gave me a tongue and want me to sing your praises

You blinded my eyes with the sparkle of your riches

And blinded my sight when you covered my eyes with your flag

You thought I could not see the misdeeds of your meandering hands

You call me radical because I won’t kill my brother

You call me radical because I won’t buy your excuses

You gave nations gold and green and bought their silence

You gave countries good reasons to remain quiet

But some of us care not for diamonds

Yes, some of us have wealth in our hearts that cannot be bought.
