To Those in Pain


Dear Minorities, 

 

Let's face it nowadays this world is a crazy place

Whether you're in Syria, Yemen or even the United States please stay safe 

Face to face with dark shadows left and right 

The only place i reach peace is in her eyes 

These mountains of greed try to claim the most amount of land destroying everything in between 

Fait his fading & soon there will only be room for fear and screams 

Tired of civil wars costing innocent lives, deprivation of homes and to hunger to millions 

Meanwhile the greed getting greedier, filthy rich increasing their net worth by what seems trillions 

Change is a noun, its a possibility 

Simply a word echoed in confferences, marches and never really seen 

I'll be long gone before I see justice succeed 

I ask myself everyday what can someone like me do 

Love is all I can offer to you 

The world is cruel but with darkness comes light 

Love one another despite the violence we see, treat one another with respect and that'll be our fight
