Help!!!
Somebody please help
I need a magic wand..
The pain in this world
Our world,
mine and yours
Is too much to see
Too much to bare
How dare you
Sit in your ivory tower
Driving in your limousine car
Not care?
How dare you eat your caviar?
Be merry, be happy
When tears abound in limitless measure?
Who is crying for the lil ones
Who is crying for the street child
The sex worker, the raped, the abused, the vulnerable?
Who is pouring them a lil’ liquor?
Gosh darn it who?!
Answer me
You yes I say you
How f-ing dare you sit up in your ivory tower
And look down on us
On your future
On tomorrow?
I’m sorry, you said what?
You paid your dues.. I see..
Born with a silver spoon in your mouth
Know that you dues were much cheaper than hers
When she cried out to her mother cos she was hungry
She was paying her dues
When she called out to God cos it hurt when daddy raped her
She was paying her dues
When she walked miles and miles with lil brother on her back
To get him some medicine so he will stop coughing up blood
But he died all the same
She was paying her dues
When mummy died and she had to bury her
She was paying her dues
And now as she lays in the bed, with three men hovering over her
Licking their lips lasciviously
As she mentally departs from her body
To make enough money
For lil Johnny and Ama to eat
She is paying her dues
So go on mr caviar
Go on mrs limosine
Pay you dues
But know that this life is but a drop in eternity
And what you do here determines where you spend your eternity
Close your eyes and ignore the pain
Walk on by, right by like you don’t see the suffering or pain
Be a part of the problem and pray that the bitch that karma is
Don’t come to get you
Or you can choose
Choose to be a part of the solution
And instead of driving by,
instead of walking by,
instead of numbing your heart and pretending not to see
Stop.
Look.
Listen.
Act.
