GO AWAY SPRING

(A COVID INTERLUDE)

By Imani Miles, who performs as AmiraTheWeirdo

Verse:

The birds are telling me to come outside But I won’t, Not for a while.

The flowers bloom just so I can see But I’m all good, I’ll stay in the house.

Pre-chorus:

I know that winter’s gone (winter’s gone) I’m not ready to move on (not ready to move on)

I see the sun in the sky, (see the sun in the sky) Trying to make me happy...

Chorus:

Oh Spring, Why won’t you leave me alone?

Spring, Why won’t you leave me alone?

STOP ASIAN HATE

By Lillian Nguyen, Girls Write Nashville

To the Asians who were outcasts for their eyes

Who were continuously called slurs

Their scarred hands knowing through society

To nourish their families

To the Asians who were mercilessly silenced into death

Who were innocently unique

Centuries later, we will remember your names

Legends live on and so do their stories

Therefore we will stand for justice and for the righteous
