They Can'T Save Us

They can't save us 
If truly they care 
Our life could have 
Been better 

If truly they care 
They could have prevented 
This sudden change 

If truly we are in their minds 
We won't die like this 

If truly they love 
Us 
Our kids will grow old 
Not in poverty 

If truly they support us 
We will never have 
A reason to fight for 
Our right 

If truly they understand us 
The world could be heaven 
Once again on earth 

But is obvious
They are not on the scene
Of our future 

Yet we depend on them

Sad, but true write. Unfortunately, often the powers that be intervene or refrain to do so for their own benefit and agenda. I have been to Africa...a beautiful continent. Blessings.
