For How Long

Another child shed a tear Another innocent suffer Another rich becomes victory Another flower lose its petal Poet continues to writes Another bright new day appear Once more the night falls Another season has arrive The poor continues to lose hope Without a word of encouragement The hard heart The richest Do not even feel pity What they have said is enough If their plate is full That's all that matter Poor the homeless They have to live with that This suffering... And getting insulting More further than earth Singers continues to sing Yes! Another innocent pled guilty The guilty claps hands For how long Innocent needs to pay For the debt of culpability
