You must have a voice to speak for you
seeing that yours has been silenced
or goes unheard
someone must stand in the gap
intercede on your behalf
dismiss the attitude
of non-involvement
it's all of our business
when you are on the recieving end
of misplaced retribution
it takes a village to raise you
but it takes love to protect you
from the ills and evil of society
when you cry
my heart aches
when you die
my spirit
is enraged
your voices ring
I can no longer ignore
but I must answer the door
open up and let you run in to safety
senseless slaughter
prevelant from the birth of Moses
and Jesus
on down through time
predators feel they have the right
to exterminate
blaming their deeds on demons and devils
maybe they are right
hearing voices thru the night
tools of the evil one
to accomplish his evil task
in exterminating the seed
thereby destroying our future
silencing the voices of our children
but their voices shall always continue to ring.
