Today, Tomorrow

by clare

Today, They create their own truths Where peace is possible Through weapons and wars And sacrifices of the young... You take pride in it. They promise a better life Is in cities and highrises The price of which is future And half your lives... You join the line in silence. They pick on the weak With no paper proof To show that they belong And must to be heard too... You fail to hear them. They make you believe You belong to a country That is in dire need So you ought to pay the fees... You rush to fill those pockets. Tomorrow, You will be the Other No name, nowhere to hide They will put you as the price So that the rest may live by They will tighten your noose... And the world will watch.
