The Greedy and Powerful
How many blood and
lives will it take,
'Till you see the
destruction you make?
How many tears
should a mother shed?
For you to cease
this bloodshed?
You said you were
going to lead us,
We thought you
will make us one.
But look what
happened to us,
Fighting under
the same sun.
Listen to your
people's sigh,
hear your innocent
victim’s cry.
Your greed brought us
nothing but pain,
While you greedily savor
the power you gain.
Now I wonder how
you sleep at night,
When you’re the one
who made this fight.
Our freedom and
rights, you stole,
To make your
selfish dream whole.
