Only God Forgives We Don'T

only god forgive we don't
we are not the curse 
of all your crimes
we are not guilty 
of all the deaths of 
the innocent 
dead on every streets
we are not the reason
why we are in poverty 
all this time past 
till now 
is not by our making
that hard struggles is 
always what is 
left to survive 
in our ghettos
is not our prayers 
to live below
one dollar per day in Africa
no no no 
we the People are 
not guilty
and we wish if we are  
to forgive those that 
curse all this calamities
where will we start from 
so that is not for human
but for God 

only God forgives we don't
is not our dreams
to be slaves right 
in our own land or abroad
is not our wish 
to be neglected
by our leaders
our governments actions
before and now is 
never our desire 
oh is not our aims 
to see our life's
this ugly in the 
midst of plenty 
I just wish God can 
forgive them 
for that is left for 
him alone 

only God forgives we don't
is not our wish 
to be hopeless
is not our hope 
to cope with 
this brutal political  
illusion of change
is not our fault 
that they always 
lie to us 
I know they don't 
understand life 
where life is supposed
to lead us through a light
of love peace and happiness
so it does not make 
us happy when we 
always have to see 
our love ones short gone 
down six feet for nothing 
oh God we can't forget 
all this 
so is hard for we to forgive
yes that is difficult for us
and if this is true then 
only God can forgive

only God can forgive we don't
I wish it is easy to forgive
then our heart will have been
more lighter 
everyday nowadays
our youths are on the run
so many end up on the high sea
so many got dried up at the 
hot desert
in North Africa
oh is not our wish to run always
from home 
is never in our hearts and minds
to live in wars 
is so sad to see our homes  on fire
all because some intelligent
human beings are 
greedy heartless and so ignorant
of a simple truth 
I just wish we could forget and 
forgive 
but all this calamities
is not of our making 
and this means 
only God can forgive we don't
