Open Your Eyes

All the suffering in the world today If you close your eyes, it won't go away Wars wrecking lives, children abused The murderer getting away, innocent accused People with no food or clothes on their backs Cities in danger, afraid of Attacks End of lives waste of future All because of religion or culture Racists hurt people and leave them To die an abandoned baby left to cry See no evil we just walk away Hear no evil we just hope and pray Speak no evil is up to you Control your mouth and see your life through We need to stop this silly game As there are millions of victims of grief and Pain Who have lost a person they truly love Who is being taken care of by the Angels above This was your actions this was your fault Left to pick up the pieces your life put on halt The sadness around them, the pain they feel It will take a long time for the space to heal
