Easter

Silly Rabbit hops about
 Leaving eggs that children scout
 Pretty colors that decorate
 Making cookies on a date
 Easter time is coming round
 As Peter Cottontail comes to town

Stop the hate

For us, this is nothing new
 We’re sick and tired, angry too
 Why must we live in fear
 No matter if we’re far or near
 Not a joke, nor a rat
 We are not your doormat
 Why can’t you leave us be
 Our elders are our family
 Be prepared because we will fight
 For equality and for our rights.
