fauxcroft

At times I get passionate and angry
Sometimes I am driven by the social decay I see
I see people in slums and people living on the street
How can this be nothing to do with me.
I see mothers and fathers trying simply to exist
Trying to do the right things by their kids.
I see how people turn to crime out of desperation
People taking drugs to ease the frustration
And yes it may be wrong and it may make matters worse
But you can’t imagine how much pain and hurt
These people have to go through
The lives their forced to live
Feels like everything is going down one big sieve.
So I center my emotions
And I dwell in inner peace
I have this chance and ability
But I know these people don’t
And so it is lucky me
Meanwhile shots ring out and someone’s gonna bleed.
So although I am calmer now
And the storm has passed
I will always fight to the last
For a fairer world for all
Where everyone gets a share
Fighting for this in a world that doesn’t care
My heart for the peoples suffering will always be there
I am not ashamed to say that I care.
