Society's Cry

Silence the music of the mumbling city Calm your ears and mind to the little tears of Mother Nature Brother our father figure needs changing Sister the mother land is calling Our neighbors are pin pointing their contribution in our successes whilst They are whispering out our failings Are your cries changing your mind-set Or are they imitating the unheard stories of our streets? Come to the dance floor and motivate your speech Because they say “Action speak louder than words” Does your speech promise to whip a tear Does it give us happiness, faith and never turns to fair? Our smiles are masks of pain, tears, hurt and everything a woman feels with a broken heart We are hating each other because of ancestral grudges Why don’t we leave the past behind just like the apartheid Let’s hold hands and let our Orphanages hear our cries But we call it the Geh though Society a Bloody tear has just been seen Whip our Tears
