CRY ON US

~CRY ON US~

Before you we stand

We the he and she mortals

Of the land

With our calabashes shivering in our hands.

Can’t you have mercy and shed a tear?

Why can’t you act as-

We usually testify, great and mighty?

And you life,

What wrongs have we done to you?

What wrongs have we done him?

That he should treat us like slaves

Lashing us each day?

Where do we know him-

Does he even know us?

What murder have we committed?

What heights are our atrocities?

That he should be so unfair,

Mean and unkind to us?

How long will our sent

Pleas finally reach your sensitive eyes

How long again will it take you to get sad enough

To shed tears on us?
