He is your friend, give him ‘T’
She is your friend, give her ‘M’
I am your friend, a subordinate, give me ‘T’
Together we are TMT

I got shouted at and intimidated; you say government business must go on
I got locked out; you say work from home
I got three weeks to go; you say academic senate’s decision is final
I say I have a voice; you say you have an ear
A new future is born

This room, I was threatened and told to stop with 60 students
This room I wait with 6 students today, 36 gone
This room got broken glass, 36 students got scared
This room lost its peace and tranquility, a devil’s hub
This room used to be one of dialogue, now a monologue
This room lost her soul, a lifeless space

If you tell me, tell them too
If you tell them, tell us too
If we have rules, show us
If we have values, show us
If we share a common space, show us
If we have a future show us

You cannot build a future, our common space, yourself.
