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
