Rise Up

by Emma Carnage   Apr 30, 2007


Rise up, rise up
And join the haunting specter
It has its claws in the nation
And its grip is growing stronger

Rise up, rise up
And fight for what is right
Bring down the oppressive beast
The world is there to take

Rise up, rise up
And fight this bloody battle
"The bourgeoisie has signed the war decree with proletariat blood"
Take a stand for what you believe

Rise up, rise up
Burn down these oppressive walls
Bring about this revolution
And tear apart the world

Rise up, rise up
The war has begun
The battles must be fought
The Proletariat must take a stand

Rise up, rise up
And bring down this capital run society
Create a freedom beyond this slavery
Create a world that is yours

Rise up, rise up
To take apart the separations
And create a single class
A class of none
A class that isn't

A poem I wrote for English on Karl Marx and Communism.

    I really liked this stanza, when I read it I thought of a dream, that alot of people would have when there is a time of freedom for everyone. "Create a world that is yours" That really was awe-inspiring. It signifies hope for me. Great write!
