Hearts have turned to lead
As tears are left unshed
For morality is dead
And humanity has fled
Shattered
Battered
Hopes are dead
No sign, even, of daily bread
Standing for rations in a queue
Daily facing terrors new
World has turned a blind eye again
There’s only an endless stream of pain
It’s all for just a piece of land
On which the oppressor has taken a stand
Of wiping out the whole brave race
Leaving of them, not a trace
The peacekeeping forces have no say
Consciences die, day by day
Atrocities rise – as a nation dies
The predator ready to claim it’s prize
There is now no hope at all
Since all are lined up against the wall
Tortured, maimed, yet they do not fret
Bravely facing a martyr’s death
At what cost is victory sought
When nations prove they can be bought?
Gone are the days when humanity reigned
For morality, in the world, has surely waned
Let the world wake up from its slumber
And take action in a greater number
If you are for them, shed a tear
Raise your voice without any fear
