Wondering About Tomorrow

faceless faces that conform
evil hands history's born

rage of one controls all
knees are bent before the fall

master's whip scourges flesh
tangled arms lies confess

trains are filled bodies crushed
guilty verdict truth is rushed

hollow lives in a hollow world
death is granted conscience curled

hell is cold desolate space
hating will embrace disgrace

never speak or conjugate
your life they must devaluate

bow your head to their demand
your questions they don't understand

you're not like them a different skin
same God made you, you're not kin

ignorance now a crop in the field
farmers of hate await their yield

insanity forms in the mind of man
from anger's seed tilled in the land

my span of life I've seen sorrow
I wonder aloud for tomorrow
