Ode To the Child Snatchers
Ripped and torn from parents arms
Causing psychological long term harm
Children being left traumatized
In detention centers full of cages
Various kids of various ages
Susceptible now to sexual and mental abuse
Who in hell was it it that gave you
This right to use these innocent kids as political tools
Guess it's nothing new in truth
You only have to watch the news
To see the atrocities you do
To kids in Syria with that war and death
Have you no compassion or morals left
That you can destroy kids in this way
And why are people not taking too the streets
Why are they not doing something
Children are disappearing and dying
Or put in cages hysterically crying
The politics of all of this is not theirs
Where are the child authorities that claim to care
This is a human rights tragedy
A crime against humanity
Why is no one being held to account
Brought to justice or being sent down
This age in which we live seems oblivious too
The suffering of these kids that are all over the news
Sanitised it seems now to be
But you can't say you never knew
They say these detention centers are like holiday camps
The Nazis claimed the same with concentration camps
This policy is coming to you direct from 'Mein Kampf'
Like the film of 'The boy in striped pyjamas'
Same fascist rules and traits
Same policies in the world today
What more is it going to take
For people to bring about a change
Don't wait for governments to fix it
Because as it stands its working in their best interests
As a humanity we will be judged
Buy how much we leave others to suffer
And on our lack of action, compassion and trust.
