A Sorrow Place

Because of Power

Lives are being taken

Families being torn apart

Over power

Over money

Over hate

Over vengeance

Here in a place that was once a democracy

Today there are assassins

Not a place to call home

Or one to be proud of

But a place of sorrow

Take veil over your eyes off

And see reality

Don’t fall into the trap of their lies

Voices are being silenced

This is not a political fight

Not even a fight for human rights

But to protect and value human life

No longer seem as humans with feelings

They don't care about our cries

What will be the solution now

Since we didn't heed the prevention he has the crown

    It’s heartbreaking what’s going on. Not to mention heartless.
