Through the eyes of a childA Poem by M'Fun KeapDedicated to the millions lost and torn apart through war, violence and terrorism. Keep the Faith alive!Through the eyes of a child The world is far from good Through the eyes of a child The world is so cruel
Our parents have lost all sense of humanity And all they believe in is empty vanity They now trot around in pride and arrogance Lost any iota of innocence
They treat my brother as vermin They rape my sister and toss her by the bin They throw me in a prison courtyard And say "It’s not safe outside!"
They turn our pets into clothes And have shaved our hair for their rugs They have lost their imagination And our now driven by Delusive Trepidation They have made our play-field a battlefield And have turned our toys into Weapons of Destruction They have forgotten the use of their hearts and eyes And have become Walking Zombies
They call my father a traitor Yet praise my Uncle as a savior They call my aunt a w***e And my mother sits as prosecutor
Why does this insanity continue? Why do we constantly torture love? What have we done to ourselves? What have we wrought upon ourselves?
We throw stones and curse God like HE is the traitor And blame him for all injustice Yet he sits and weeps from a distance Cause we've put up a wall of resistance © 2015 M'Fun Keap |
