Drowning and Smiling

Drowning and smiling
Rough life 
Hopes dead
Who knows tommorow
Yet today isn't better 
Hungry Belly 
Tired body 
Still hard laboured for just one dollar
The shortest biography of shame
And a never ending stories 
Of the thirds world civilization

We deserve better
We need no more 
Suffering and smiling
The world should rise together
Not apart 

Drowning and smiling
Hungry yet smiling
Intimidated yet laughing
Robbed yet happy 
Jailed yet thankful
Brutalized yet courageous
Killed yet faithful
Manipulated yet religious
Isolated yet uniting 
Drowning yet smiling
The shortest biography of 
the thirds world civilization

We deserve better
We need no more 
Suffering and smiling
The world should rise together
Not apart
