I Live In Times
I live in times
When friends are few
and foes are friendly
When the law is a lie
and liars are true
When brothers are bloody
and sisters sinister
they forbid the pap they shared
and hunt after themselves
I live in times
When rivers are fenced
and oceans caged
When kinsmen beg for alms
at the gate of an illustrious son
When smiles are poisonous
And bitterness masked within
When tears are fun
can't wet a hardened heart
I live in times
When normality has changed
