Not in our name We believe that as humans living on this planet It is our responsibility to not be bystanders To this tipping point in human history! Not in our name will our mother continue to be raped Cutting down extraordinary rainforests and trees Acidifying the oceans killing the coral reefs Ripping up the land fracking for fossil fuels Polluting the earth killing the magnificent plants and animals Not in our name will we allow the Destruction of the biosphere of the planet Not in our name will our government Invade countries Bomb civilians Kill more children In their practice of colonial looting There can be no more deaths No more transfusions of blood for oil Nor in our name will they Separate families Denying asylum Or cries for help Not by our hands Will we supply funding or weaponry For the annihilation of families on foreign soil Nor in our name will they Train or arm terrorists All for the profit of the industrialized military complex Not in our hearts Will we allow whole countries Or groups of people To be deemed evil or subservient Nor in our name Will corporate profits outweigh Mother earth And her children Not in our mind Will we be influenced by propaganda and hate Or be indoctrinated By a father culture Based on polar paradoxicalness Balance is the direction Nor in our name will we be remembered As the generation that did nothing In the face of the next mass extinction Fastening the trigger on our children And generations degenerate Not by our mouths Will we allow fear silence us Not in our name and not in our will We pledge resistance We pledge allegiance With those who have come under attack From war or their ethnicity religion sexuality gender or class We align with the people of the world To bring about justice peace sustainability and democracy Another world is possible And in the name of our mother We pledge to make it real
