Escape Root

escape root
with all this gravities
of life 
one search for a 
way out 
out of the mysteries
of the unknown
always knocking on 
the doors of our reality 
we always wonder 
our why? never has a limit
on our lips full of questions
for every events of shame
in our community is 
enough to find an 
escape root

escape root 
we keep running
we keep escaping
escaping the passing of greed
in our countries
many have gone too quick
to an early grave 
many have lost hope for life
many have been long forgotten
in a foreign land 
many have been brought 
back home dead 
all because of escaping
the evils of greed 
what an 
escape root 

escape root 
we keep searching 
our long search 
never stop 
for too long 
we have been just shadows
dressed in the coats of
brutal colours 
in the land of planty 
yet we still starve 
like we always 
have nothing
so this provokes
us to escape 
as always we 
keep searching for an 
escape root

escape root 
too many actions 
we never wished for 
triggers too many 
reaction we never 
wanted 
we never wanted to 
be victims in our 
own lands
we wish life could 
be more fair 
so we could enjoy 
the benefit of home 
for right now our 
home burns with 
an evil flames 
 and with an heavy 
smokes of brutality
is obvious is clear
so when we try 
to quench the fire 
the men on the hills
rewards us with 
an early grave
they set up the fire 
as long as it keep 
burning 
as long as they benefit
from our pains
so we got no choice
instead to fight 
as always cowardly
but never Coward enough
not to keep searching for the
escape root
