You Lie Through Your Greedy Teeth Mr Politician

Visualize the sound of silence Realize the headstones of violence Dark dreams constrict your iris Your visions only raise greed on highlands Harmonize our voices stained with curses Our lenses shooting at the pose of hopeless Hunger left mothers singing dirges Children cramp to unrelenting pain like teenage menses Leaving my brain entrained in this spiritual verses Hear me you greedy strains with blood stained purses You lie about your intentions Rip us of our respect in pretence to satisfy our urges Robbed us with taxes from our price tags below minimum wages Between our breed and yours you left no educational bridges Blood sweats we pour to secure hinges for our offsprings Blood sweats you lure for your selfish interests
