A Silent Cry
They awake each morning to a cloudless sky
With empty stomachs and throats so dry
The truth is at birth to this they were born
But there for the grace of God goes anyone.
They scour the earth for something to eat
While we do picnic as a treat
Could we for one day the positions exchange,
And they from our glorious bounty partake
Could we exist on a handful of grain
Mixed up with foul water taken from a drain
Could we sit for hours silently waiting
For mankind to help or for God to take us
To a place where all men are the same
From an unfair world so insane,
Could we look at our children, eyes ever knowing
That the chances of our seeing them growing
Are in the hands of people who
Only crave designer shoes from Choo.
