Wake Up

 

            Awake, look and see,

See all the wasted peoples

Feeble’d by a system flawed,

     Just cause,

When provocation matters

More than healing,

Will you be ready for recourse?

 

            Those that live the life

Of privileges

            Do they know the truth

Of pain, pain from sacrifice

From those they use as slaves?

            Those who have no founding

Goods of wealth?

 

            All the talent,

All those whose lives,

Their human personality,

Their benign characters mistook -

            Wonder, compassionately

Whilst living in desolation,

            ‘Do ‘they,’ ever stop to think?’
