I cry for my sins
I cry for my mistakes
But
I don’t just cry for myself

I cry for the insanity of the world
I cry for senseless killing death and decay
The child hungry and scared
Living in the streets with no where to go

I cry for the abused
Those who get beat up
Beaten into a ****** lump
By those who were supposed to love them
By total strangers just looking for a good time

I cry for the corruption of others
Police
Military
And others
Who find it easier to do what is wrong
Just to make a quick buck

I cry for polititions
Who continually lie to the American public
Who constantly look out for their own interests
Instead of listening to the American people

I cry for our school children
Who time and time again can not get the education they need
To help them prepare for the future
To help lead successful lives

I cry for
Crime
Gangs
Turf wars
Making the inner cities unsafe
Making  America unsafe

I cry for our military
And for lose who gave thier all
And sacrificed everything
So freedom could remain

I cry for those who can not cry themselves
I cry for those without a voice

So thier needs may be heard
