Nothing budges

Nothing budges.
Nothing ever really seems to budge budges unless it is coaxed.
And force so often freezes motion We've got to dangle the right sort of incentive before the right sort of nose and, Goddess knows that, sometimes you kick the ASS and it digs its hooves right back in the grass.
We are told we push too hard, yell too loud, march too proud, too in-your-face.
The issues ignored in a cloud of fear and we aren't heard We aren't heard because we are angry and we are angry for not being heard.
We are dismissed as radicals with no sensibility ("we are just angry"), with no credibility (they think we are "just angry").
Well, there's a lot more to me than just being angry.
We are ignored for being angry and we are angry for being ignored They say it's because our voices come from within the problem but there would not be a problem if we were not ignored.
These are the contradictions that we have to face when we are trying to defend our rightful place.
We elect those to represent it but who knows better than we who live this? Who knows better than we who live this? Being on the fringe we don't need to stretch our minds to understand the issues that affect.
We don't need imagination, or compassion, we can relate, we have felt the effects of such HATE.
But, I suppose that's a Fringe Benefit and we deal with it so deal with our anger! Don't dismiss us as radicals with no sensibility it's about time you listen to me Listen to me! Nothing Budges Sometimes you kick the ASS and it digs its hooves right back in the grass.
