we’ll tolerate your homelessness if you don’t takeover an empty house

we’ll tolerate your writing if it doesn’t expose us the Assange way

we’ll tolerate demos against employers if you don’t sieze the workplaces

we’ll tolerate rallies opposing police killings if you don’t kill the police

we’ll tolerate ramblings of occupied ones if they don’t answer our atrocities

we’ll tolerate your anger against racism if you don’t fight back for equality

but if you do then you know how we’ll react?

we’ll beat, harass, torture, murder, bomb, destroy the hell out of you

look at Julian Assange who’s rotting in prison

look at Palestinian attack against occupation facing our unbound wrath

look at the Black Panther Party which wanted rights but faced our might
