Blood and Sand

BLOOD AND SAND “They must cough, they must yaw Because their blood is in sand Blood in sand As it penetrates, they ask forgiveness to be born As the sand dry, they ask for food to full their stomachs Blood in sand I am not yet old, silent to talk, as I exist I talk I say what I see, most of them died in Dee Blood in sand Most of my brothers and sisters were killed Seeking diamonds and Tanzanite As they were looking for better tomorrow, They forgotten our almighty GOD He is the one to take the one to leave Blood in sand Let me put off my skin on behalf To blind their eyes in seeing the Albinos Because they kill day and night Like they have their own heaven for internal life I kneel and pray till my knee will perish on me Blood in sand” The little baby woke up From the deep sleep of the dream, on top Seeing the little bird, rejoicing the joy of GOD.
