down to earth i watch and weep
lonely and distress with sorrow
but in all i could only watch
as destruction unfold before my eyes
like a tree i stood and watch
as my fruit go wayward astray
oh! what an awful thing to watch
As then thorns bit their flesh
Orphan beggars and dropout
i feel their fears and hear their wails
but in all i could only watch
as future leaders go astray
and become whores robbers and touts
force by hunger rejection and insecurity
to do nothing but stay alive
but in all they die and wither
their remains to vultures and hawk
but they leave their mark behind
another being to walk this wilderness
this wilderness man call life
to eat dust and sleep in the cold bed of insecurity
to suffer the sin of their ancestors
and return to dust where they are from
