Echo

you promised us sanctuary
1,000 threats of death echo off their
breath, they reach around the world
to every boy to every girl
to every child and frog
promoting wrong
never teaching right
peace is whispered away
like it is not welcome to stay
same issues different day, in
debt we are and i can't understand
why, where not really free its all a lie
and i no longer care if i die.
