Human Empathy
I close my eye's and hear the screams
I feel the pain of all deceived
Scared and hurt, pleading and bleeding
It grows inside like a bad dream
All those before, all yet to come
I can feel traveling through my blood
Pleading for mercy, pleading for life
Asking god to help in this fight
Strangled in silence of the night
Massacred in numbers in broad daylight
Hung by the noose for all to see
Others torn apart for the sake of spiritual woos
Some who think they have the right
as they slice or shoot and take the life
It burns me through my mind and soul
Pains my heart,squeezes tight and i weep the tears of empathy
For a race that suffers long to only gain more hate and wrong
