The girl caught in the wire Knows the right way and shows fiery pride Instead, of taking the sunshine and more Clasping the delicate rays with her parched palms
Leaving desolate prisoners inside A dark day made only of steel cages They will let in the light, those lying in the shadow It's blazing outside, it is bright
Cold waters will calm, then turn the tide Soon the cursed world will die Women can see the sun when it swallows the earth It is a ball of hope saving them from guns and guards
Their dreams will turn to ashes Mothers with empty wombs love them just the same To them their daughters haven't seen the rain The sun grins from behind grey clouds and sighs
Soon, freedom will come within their reach, fast And these daughters will get stuck deeper The dream slips faster than sand in an hourglass They deserve love from the depths of hell itself
Until one of them dies by the bullet or ****** disease They don't belong to them, do they? These pigs moan if their houses are made of gold The white men want oil fields with them working
Such injustice has gotten beyond the point that people can turn a blind eye. You need to vote to bring focus on how the black people are getting treated. Its been like this, since the 1600s, and it saddens me that many will let it go on. I live in a different country, but I know this is the right thing to write for people who need to hear this. For those who are unaware, ignorant, and need to get disabused about slavery, please wake up. It's all on the news.
