The Silent Screaming

The silent screaming
Is it deafened by what we choose to hear?

The men of money
Who control power by fear

Humanity is broken
For what is humanity if not self-serving?

Unequal world living?
But does equal means no one can win!

Too many people left hurting
Too many lives left broken

The silent screaming
Listen closely and hear their tune in the wind

The tune of the silent dying
Is what too many people have to sing.
