Before Our Very Eye's

Cowards live to exist for nothing Our land is firty and dirty Calamity every where Right in front of our very eye's Our prophets are slain The very ones who stand so brave Are been punish for the truth Before our very eye's We see our hero's fall We see our very own best slain away We see our women abuse We see our natural resources wasted to greed in africa We see ourselves go hungry We see all we have been given Taken far from us I wonder what you see Before our very eye's We work like elephant But we eat as rat We run but we never know Our destination We strugle only for the greedy We stand but not tall enough We wallow only to end in confusion We see yet i dont know what you see Before our very eye's We see polictician promising us Heaven on earth Only to leave us in shadows like a slave We see our leaders stealing from us We see our land turn blood We see our children go hungry We see our mother's grieve We see our men used so terribly bad as just tools We see our old fathers dieing in pains of illness We wonder yet I don't know what you see Before our very eye's Alot we see Alot makes us wonder Alot we can't say Alot fear is killing our sight Alot we want to say but we are so scard of the unknown I wonder when all this will be a past As well yet I wonder What you see
