Luigi Mangione

If I must die,

you must live

to tell my story

to sell my things

to buy a piece of cloth

and some strings,

(make it white with a long tail)

so that a child, somewhere in Gaza

while looking heaven in the eye

awaiting his dad who left in a blaze–

and bid no one farewell

not even to his flesh

not even to himself–

sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above

and thinks for a moment an angel is there

bringing back love

If I must die

let it bring hope

let it be a tale

Refaat Alareer
(1979 - 2023)

A Threnody to Gaza

Lyrics 
The shooter got back pain, he walked with a stick
Everybody was happy when he killed that prick
He lowkey bad, people wanting that dick
Tell that old motherfucker Joe, acquit!
Pardon that boy like you pardoned your son (yessir)
Deny, defend, depose, he wrote on his gun
Till the rest of the pigs dead, we ain’t even won
Never expecting this from Super Mario’s brother (wahoo)
I don’t know I kinda felt like it would be another
Anyone can make that change, you just gotta be brave
Tell these motherfuckers we are fucking done being slaves
These fuckers put our family and friends into graves
Free Luigi Mangione, the CEO a real fuckin phony
Bro was only rich cuz death was his crony
Luigi he knew it’s a bunch of baloney
So he printed a strap and went full Tony, Soprano

Oooh
Luigi, you did nothing wrong, in them cells you stay strong
When you finally get out come and link and hit my bong
Luigi, you did nothing wrong, in them cells you stay strong
When you finally get out come and link and hit my bong

Government sees you as a crook, I refute it in the hook (yessir)
On first glance, I can see that’s how it look
But if you look at the facts, won’t go down that way in the fucking books
An Italian twink got the government and pigs so shook
There’s a reason the people see Luigi as a hero (yessir)
Rejected claims, people needed money, they were given none but zero
He used silenced pistol like he’s fucking James Bond
They all nervous bout the movement he spawned
Now you wonder how we gone respond (yessir, yessir)
Free Mangion, ay or we know you’re a fraud
This government and industry might be too flawed
When Americans need to get their healthcare abroad
As a Canadian I think it’s really odd
When y’all burn it all down you know imma applaud
Until then imma spit some of these political bars 
Cuz like Elon Musk, my head is all the way up on Mars
Yo fuck Elon Musk and fuck his stupid cars (fuck him)
Yo, fuck Brian Thompson, let that fucker fucking rot (fuck him)
Free Luigi Mangione

Oooh
Luigi, you did nothing wrong, in them cells you stay strong
When you finally get out come and link and hit my bong
Luigi, you did nothing wrong, in them cells you stay strong
When you finally get out come and link and hit my bong
Link and hit my bong, link and hit my bong
Link and hit my bong
Link and hit my bong, link and hit my bong
Link and hit my bong, link and hit my bong
