I Speak For the Innocent

i speak for the innocent
who do nothing but cry
they have no power to express
they are turned into cheap trash
and blinded with painful life
i speak for the innocent

men have turned the angels
to sex objects and servants
rapists are let go free
they have money to buy a hideout
does money but self dignity?
i speak for the innocent

they lurk in the dark
just to rape,hurt and destroy
does it matter to them?
what if i was the one
to subject their innocent daughters
into that painful act 
i speak for the innocent

they have no creativity
or any sense of conscience
they luck critical thinking
and think of their body desires
destroying lives of the innocent
i speak for the innocent

all they do is induce pain
causing tears to the innocent
our day will come
when men; who act like dogs
will come to us
they will wish to be forgiven
the voice of the innocent
is waiting for the moment
i speak for the innocent.
