Compromise Without Benefit
compromise without benefit
we have been toiled upon
suppressed by the system
brutalities by the authorities
tortured by the men on black kaki
our words dont count
our opinion is heard
but overuled
we are the scares of poverty
yet the skies remains
the beginning of our limits
compromise without benefit
we have been enslave before
and now
we are always turn down
when ever we show up
in the midst of intelligent humans
we are made to live to a limit
and the more we fight
the harder they become
brutal and cruel on us
is like we got no escape root
but to hang on with shadow
compromise without benefit
we have been closed
closed down with laws
rules and regulations
in shadows of justice
but in reality our life's
are bitter than the air
we breath
I just wonder when change
will be
cos things get worst by day
yet when you speak
4sqare become your home
compromise without benefit
we are tired
I guess that why they
became powerful
we have long allowed
them to manipulate us
guess that why we are gun down
when we protest
for too long we are tired of lies
yet we compromise
their lies to lead us blind
and we succeeded to tear down
the cover to our blindness
we realise for so long our
life has been
compromise without benefit
