Poem
Don’t talk to me of justice, Don’t talk to me of pain, Don’t talk to me of slavery - it’s too hard to explain. Don’t talk to me of freedom, cos we all pay the price. We strike out on our brothers - and do it more than twice. Don’t talk to me of a new Peace all across the globe, The streets are paved with bloodshed, yet we say they’re paved of gold. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, listen and you’ll see, the violence and destruction It’s too hard to believe, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, listen to the sound, There is no room for breathing as a man’s tied to the ground. Don’t talk of changes coming, we dare not hope today. Cos promises are tomorrow, and freedom slips away We march with distant voices, that fall upon deaf ears, we’re marching for our brothers, with hearts so full of fear. Just give me one last promise, that Love comes shining through; the bright star of creation, a start of something new. A sign that change is coming when something in us moves, and the world is all together, and joined in Grace and Love. Copyright, Suzy Davies, 2022. All Rights Reserved.
