Your agent is an enemy He burns with certain ecstacy Your agent is an enemy He burns with certain ecstacy Come away now glory don't be sad Come away now glory don't be mad Your agent isn't an enemy He walks hand in hand with enemy Your agent isn't an enemy He's telling them he's really me Come away now glory don't be sad Come away now glory don't be mad Your agent is alive He's not really dead He's crawling on the ground They're asking for his head Come away now glory don't be mad Come away now glory don't be sad

When I first saw you I knew you saw it too A world unknown It's better when it's shown A meeting of minds over matter To cross the lines we shatter And make our way To find a freer place You looked into my eyes It released relieving sighs And cut through the lies That cloud my mind sometimes A meeting of minds over matter To cross the lines we shatter And make our way To find a secret place You know which way this will go We walk into the unknown And since then we have grown And found our lives to be flown A meeting of minds over matter To cross the lines we shatter And make our way To find a free space

And I am not a racist for I live on the highest planet of the exalted few I do not care if you're black or white I see you for who you are I am alone in this world sometimes except for my love I was lost before and now I have someone I can relate to The fallen out, the disenfranchised, the disabled I can see myself running for president as a woman Running away from politics from the system because it is screwed It is frayed from the beginning and unravelling from the inside out Rotten to the core We need an overhaul We need to see that people are equal, black and white, Asian, Hispanic... People from other countries are not bad, or less, than those of American nationality We see difference as bad They see difference as bad I don't, because I am different Why? Because I've been treated badly my whole life That means I am good If people were to see that difference is not bad Bad is bad And if they were to open their minds more to difference To what is not like them To what is not Cyclone or hawkeye If people were to identify themselves as a person and not a football team The world would be a much better "Hi nice to meet you! I'm perky!" "Hi nice to meet you! I'm a cyclone!" This is why the world is fraying This is why the world has gone mad We worship supermodels, like they were a god Even though I don't believe in God, I still don't worship supermodels And this is the time that if we could just see to accept people even though they are a different color than us Their skin is brown or black instead of white It doesn't mean they're bad It is such a superficial judgement Superficial meaning skin deep, it's only skin deep Let's look deeper into the person Into the soul Into the human being that makes up the representation you see of the black, or white, or Asian, or Hispanic Let's see what's inside - that's what really matters And why can't people see that? Why don't they care? Why don't they want to? Because the media infiltrates us all and brainwashes us into believing Only the best, only the ideal, only this unreal expectation of perfection Is what is valuable And in the media, mainstream, whitest spread of all ubiquitous It is white, it is money and white And male

You're talking down to me And try to make me see What you want me to be But I'm free Dirty looks and funeral fire I'm irrepressible I'm here to let you know That you can go and fuck yourself Any time you like I'm driving down the street To the store and back I can't stand what I see It makes me mad Dirty looks and funeral fires I'm irrepressible I'm here to let you know That you all can go and fuck yourselves Any time you like One two three it's coming for me Four five six grab my crucifix Seven eight nine gonna get it right Ten let's do it again I'm irrepressible I'm here to let you know That you can go and fuck yourself Any time you like

We live in a world unkind to women It's all take and no givin' A world unkind to women It's all take and no givin' I walk out my front door into a world filled with men who respect me I eat with people influenced by my ideas I keep my clothes on and people listen to me I'm well known for reading You are not alone in this world of entropy and exhale I lead a team of men and women at a tech research company To find solutions to social problems I make more money than most men Men treat women well in this world I am not sexually assaulted I am not abused You are not alone in this world of entropy and exhale Men love me because I'm a woman Women love men genuinely and don't pretend to because they feel forced That would be gosh I'm sexual when I feel like it and Not because the media tells me I have to be I wear baggy clothes and am considered attractive Men find me alluring for my intellect Porn is something we eat and dinner alongside the ham Degradation is repulsive because human life is valued You are not alone in this world of entropy and exhale My field of work, human services tech, is the top paying field Celebrities are afterthoughts People make more money preventing harm to humans than selling them My name is Kristin not state clean beauty auto chop I'm alive, I'm aware, I am free I'm alive, I'm aware, I think critically You are not alone in this world of entropy and exhale We live in a world unkind to women It's all take and no givin' A world unkind to women It's all take and no givin'

I walked into the zoom room and told my story Those fuckers at work tried to take me out, again But the Zoom room was in a different state So it was easier to tell the story online My peers listened, and contributed One person commended me My instructor did too This was for a presentation at grad school My emphasis is social justice I take social justice action One way is by telling schools they have a problem with inclusion A teacher retaliated She said I was incompetent She followed me She harassed me She cornered me and tried to entrap me But I excused myself to the restroom Then I told people about it What she did What a dirty dog she was A scumbag, a lowlife For retaliating against me because I spoke out in favor of people of color, underrepresented, and with ability challenges And this is what she did to me That fucking cunt These are the kinds of people that crawl around in the more oppressive areas in our country These are the kinds of people who keep people down; oppress the marginalized. These are the people who live off the exploitation of those they treat as inferior. These are the people who hurt others for no reason because they like to feel superior. These are the people who are sick, sadistic, tainted, twisted, fucked up, racist, prejudice, discriminatory, heteronormative, and White with a middle to high socioeconomic status. These are people who do bad things to other people to feel powerful. They bully. These are the people who must be stopped.

You 03:52
I was born into danger Taking handouts from strangers I had no one to count on And was all alone from day one I became detached When I was attacked I was so scared No one showed they cared Then I found you My love I found you The one I dreamed of I found you My love You’re from above I became lost My Self was the cost Overwhelmed by pain From being hurt again and again Afraid to make connections Always striving for perfection No one wanted to know me Or listen to my story But then I found you. My love I found you The one I dreamed of I found you My love You’re from above No friends and no family Were there for me Didn’t trust anybody Hostility all around me But then I found you. My love I found you From above I found you My love The one I dreamed of You get me You feel me You make me feel right You know me You show me Everything’s gonna be all right Then I found you My love I found you The one I dreamed of I found you From above My love Above the grief The disbelief The targeting And harassing Above the suffering And the hunting I found you My love I found you I dreamed of I found you My love This love’s from above
