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
