Another Sad and Senseless Massacre of Our Brothers and Sisters

Not safe in God’s House In trouble at the Schoolhouse In danger at the White House Especially, in our own house We’re hunted like the old time Prosecuted And persecuted Like breathing was a crime. Too much racial hatred This is a new, new apartheid They want our blood, our sweat For nothing, for pennies They want us on our knees Begging like a cheap pet Like we have no self-worth But we rather see early death In lieu of losing our dignity Our pride and our humanity. Another sick and senseless massacre Another day of mourning Another day of torture Our People are tired of suffering Our safety is in jeopardy No place to hide our heart, our soul We can simply pray for a better journey For better opportunities and a happier role. We shall overcome We are not afraid to fight Until the last beat of the heart Until the last bell of the bout We will get Home When we hear the last words Of the amazing grace We belong in this place And this place belongs to us We want Peace But Justice first We’re angry, hungry and athirst To see the day when this nonsense Will stop, will cease Eating away our sense Of Happiness And Fairness Like a Parisian cheese. We shall overcome Not safe in God’s Home This is another day of sadness Another journey of unhappiness. Hebert Logerie Copyright@June 2015, Hebert Logerie ,All Rights Reserved
