EMPTY RACE

Empty race
That's what they want us to run
Running aimlessly, living like slaves 
Wandering around planet earth 
Working without earning 
Living without thinking 
So we won't be aware 
Of the poor infrastructure, political instability, corruption, institutional weaknesses etc

They always abuse our potential 
They know the dirty games they play 
Creating chaos and fear to give News 
Trying to be our muse 
Just to lead and misuse us
But our senses we always put into use
We are always feeling good
Even when they belittle or neglect us.

If you've never 
Been seen as nobody 
You can never be somebody 
Not all shame lame or tame you
Some are triggers for your growth 
Stay strong; so you can break yokes.
