Boom here Boom there Doom; fear Hummed tear Kids orphaned Man sacrificed Wanderers shoot dead But who cares I’m not safe I need a place Where there are no guns Where there are no bombs Where the land is green Where the sky ain’t grey Where movement is free Where the air ain’t thick Yes, I’m leaving Freedom is what I’m seeking No, I cannot leave How about my wife and kids I once had a home I was once known For my wordsmithing and prose I once had dreams and hope But now, all is soak I was once famous and rich Wealth and nutrition are things I had in reach Now they’ve all turn to trashes Burn down to ashes Are we on route or stray Wait, is it judgment day? Ohw, we’re in the midst of war Our vision for peace is blurred Our street filled with blood Homeless sleeping on the street floor Battered path Broken shelter Shattered heart Hectar sketar But how do we get here How do our problems build up to stairs? Like ghommids, our tears remained constant Our stomach; filled with fake substance Because of the hatred we had for ourselves Our once paradisal home now turned to hell Because our governments are just bandits of theft And we have no says in things that we get Businessman lacks patriotism Different kind of societal atrocity Corruption and cultism Religion tribalism When will all this stop? When will salvation come? God; please free us from this curse Please save us Lord
