The Power of Inhumanity


The power of inhumanity, Oh how it sickens the remedy of true empiricism and how it swallows the color of a tender rainbow We allow the cries of our mothers to waver across the oceans of prosperity We allow the tears of our brothers to drip down the shores of integrity and we allow the voices of our young ones to halt in doors of intolerance When, is the word we ask ourselves, to heal the wounds of our gentle hearts and cure the gashes of our own compassion that we once had in this place called life, A life we wish to live under the stars of glorious patterns, Patterns of democracy Patterns of hope and patterns for true and infinite freedom.
