Built On Lies
The caged animal was told:
You have no right to light
The captured beast was told:
You have no right to fight
The tortured slaves were told:
You have no right to rights
The people with different coloured skin were told:
You have no right to love
The people who cared were told:
You have no right to feel
The humanitarians were told:
You have no right to give
The people who disagreed were told:
You have no right to live
Men make men kneel
Men make animals feel that living is not a right
Men make men see
That their life is not their life
That their life is built on lies
