(Andy RaEaf in Peoples VOiee)
Democracy is threatened from
within
By fools who make a fetish of
their skin;
So they refuse what victory de-

My brain, my heart, my courage
and my hands.
"Your country needs you~ is
the daily cry
And all the while they give
these words the lie
Yet faraway, Luzon holds back
our foes,
Does color matter? Brave Mac
