Queer folx hear that sound
Same things are happening here
for what it’s worth, it’s pretty darn clear
there’s still a man with a gun over there
tellin’ us all we better beware
It’s time they stopped, everybody
hear that sound,
can’t you see what’s goin’ down
too many lines been crossed
and there’s no peace, if everything’s wrong
Queer people standing up tall
Mind manipulators wanna see them fall
It’s time they stopped, Queer folx
hear that sound,
everybody see what’s goin’ down
Time to march in the street
millions of people in the heat
wearing flags and dancing with pride
all them sayin’ this is our time
It’s time they stopped, all of us
hear that sound,
everybody sees what’s goin’ down
Propaganda strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
You can’t fight if you’re always afraid
Step out of line, masked men come and take you away
It’s time they stopped, America
hear that sound,
Everybody see what’s goin’ down
They better stop
hey, hear that sound,
everybody see what’s goin’ down
You better stop
yo, what’s that sound
everybody sees what’s goin’ down
Inspired by / written to the tune of “For What it’s Worth: ( Stop, hey what’s that sound)” by Buffalo Springfield, released by Atco Records Dec. 1966

I had to go back and read the poem to that rhythm too!
Wow! Your rhythm with the song is wonderful! Yes, we (humane humans) hear that sound, stop—and must stand up for all.
