we have money for war
but we can't feed the poor?
came from mister shakur
deus misereatur (may God have mercy)
this day we pray to say
vox populi vox dei (the voice of the people is the voice of God)
in empty beds we lay
today and everyday
silent by the violence
comes the violent silence
that man hath done penance
quoth he, coleridge; hence
reason it should not last
from belgrade to belfast
kabul, sarajevo
and other places we dont know
for we will not forget
those we have not yet met
why do they fight to die
and leave their youngs to cry?
for what? a home, a land
family with no man?
to be used and abused
a so-called life refused
to serve and to have trust
in state is a must
for it is all they know
to never reap what they sew
they are pawns, they are lambs
dying breed in demand
the old state needs to wake
before it is too late
use the money for good
for medicine and food
infirnmas curate (heal the sick)
mortuos suscitate (raise the dead)
leprosos mundate (cleanse the lepers)
daemones ejicite (cast out devils)
gratis accepistis (freely you have received)
gratis date (freely give)
the time to act is now
inside we all know how.
