The Forgotten One
the landless...
the forgotten one
born too late
screaming so loud - it is hard to hear
(we failed the living for the dead)
I hear your cry
we hear your cry
your anger is seen
it is your nature
to be angry and bitter
confined and weak
landless-ness froze you in
a hard embrace
legless
mindless
useless...
nobody will say anything
because they fear for their jobs
nobody will care
because they all obtained plots
or the rest will be wanting too
is it time now to go away?
to share this land could free one
forgotten...
but might kill the other
