Barricade Against Humanity
One fist in the air
With a candle in the other
The wax melting status
Of the lives that were smothered
Lining along with the march
If the cowardice was unseen
Then it was sure
There was nothing left to bother.
In the memory of the fallen
A father lost his daughter
Dragged by the collars
Her pain was greeted with laughters
With pardons and pleas
They came back out again
Evils thought to live below
But it walked right among us.
A liquid in display
Had a cheap price to pay for
Concentrated effects
But it was still not mentored
A splash in the eye
And a flash that delivered
She got herself scarred
And you still act unaware
Of the facts
With a blindfold
You kept ignoring the facts
And a news forecasted
To see how you all react
On couches and beds
You let a simple abuse slip out
But that's all you can do
It was the power I was fed up of.
Mother...
I ask you mother...
If charity began at home
Why was the country termed as mother
Father...
I ask you father...
If you are the one with muscles
Then why are not our mothers
Taller than the sky
Heavier than the Earth
A burden you should bear
But I see undeveloped futures
Oh mommy oh daddy
Though you're showering blessings
I do not see any
Parental advisory covers.
Belief and faith
Maintains a simple human nature
The nature that brings
A hope for a better future
Relying upon them is
What you all can do
But the foundation it's build upon
Must have a base too
The ghost in the attic is what you fear
And when s happen
You shed a tear
Along with me
As I feel helpless when I rhyme
That is all I can do
It is my biggest crime
And then come dreams
The results of the nature
Feeding on it
With a sour displeasure
The one on the thrones
Keep on giving orders
The blind fool people
Is it what you desire?
