Freedom

Many years has passed us by
Yet no sign of a coming liberation
Our burdens increase by the day
At dusk we dine with affliction

Our fathers work earnestly
To satisfy the obnoxious taskmasters
Our mothers kept the chaste line strong
Despite all promiscuous dangers

Our young and gorgeous daughters
Are used for pleasure and satisfaction
Our young and mighty men of valour
Are mainly used to stop opposition

Babies are abundantly born
In bond they age and fade away
The strong is susceptible to the weak
Hopes and dreams die each passing day

Every night with prayers of faith
We wonder the end of this madness
But all we see is Judas amid us
And all he has to offer is silliness

Who will remember us?
Who will hear our humble cry?
In disguise we are benevolence
Sitting idle gazing to the empty sky
