Displaced – Alpha Brown
[Part 1]
To the outliers
The mavericks
The underdogs
And the addicts
To the dreamers
The activists
The renegades
And the alchemists
To the beached fish
The indoor kites
The backyard dogs
And the lemons in limelight
To the ocean plastic
The masked disguise
The doubtful totems
And the canaries in coalmines
[Part 2]
To the tongues on foreign soil
Bananas in fruit bowls
Forged art in galleries
And the square pegs in this round world
To the kings in constant check
Ships shadowed in beacons
Orbital debris
Stolen artifacts in museums
To the arcs who’ve lost the plot
Mics without a stage
Shoes tied on power lines
And the lab mice in this rat race
To the children of immigrants
Homeless in their homeland
Innocent prisoners
And the refugees in no mans
[Part 3]
We often question meaning
Of ourselves in space and time
But as life goes on, we come to learn
Our place has reason why
So, despite our great despairs
We hope and search for change
Inspired by those stories
Of good from being displaced
Rosa Parks never gave her seat
Banksy art fills common streets
Blaine flew to heights unreached
Mandela’s time set a nation free
Greta striked for our climate
Kamkwamba built power with science
Kaepernick knelt in defiance
And Gladwell wrote Outliers
