Free Cee I Weep For the Deeply Deprived
I WEEP FOR THE DEEPLY DEPRIVED
Weep for the waifs in a world we call the third
The woeful ones with bellies empty of nourishment
They are trapped while Americans remain free as a bird
Children chided by a lack of energy and encouragement
How sad it is to see childish stomachs distended and unfilled
ignored by a country wherein food is summarily turned into trash
While a rash of unconcern burns deep into the arid soil of the Sudan
Ominous omnipotence rules Europe and the U.S.A.
As hunger pervades and invades invalids and youthful deprivation
Haute cuisine is never seen in the middle of misery and mayhem
And novenas mean nothing if uttered in reluctance and vain
While pain rages as Aids adds an exclamation mark to starvation
A nation negated by sustenance and satisfaction
as a frail faction of people receive a fraction of what they need
A breed who bleed in a citadel of situational depression
Whose impression of indecency is fueled by intrepid apathy
Souls with black holes in a universe cursed by non-contrition
Spirits who suffer spurious and furious insults to their bodies
And a deleterious deficiency of decency and delight
Where a blight of beauty beleaguers them with insidious insistence
As the only consistency is a cantankerous and callous collusion between confusion and sorrow
And the desperation of tomorrow is a terrible and tormenting truth
I cry for the cruelty of incredulous indecency and denial
And the innocent inhabitants of sorrow and sand
Their lives are for fate and misfortune to defile
As they languish in a lamentable and lascivious land
