The Careless Man

The Careless Man

I have dreams 

I have goals 

I have a life 

I have a cause

I am here for a reason

 

I fear my life will be taken away

By a careless man

I fear I'll become part of the 97% too soon

I fear I might die with my legs open and a gun to my head 

 

I fear I might die from the loud echoing sound of a bullet 

From the gun in the Careless Man's hand

I fear my innocence will be stolen away from me 

I fear that if I don't die from this I'll have a lifetime of trauma 

 

But it's time to realise

That you're much stronger than you think 

You're Growing 

You're Glowing 

You're the greenest of leaves on that same tree your ancestors planted 

But still you fear...

 

I want Prosperity , I want to grow 

I want to Breathe, I want to glow

 

Because I haven't been touched 

I think that justice has been served 

Because I haven't been touched 

I don't understand their pain

   And still you fear 

This will all end in vain...

 

But if only you knew 

Those who don't get punished in this life 

Will in the next 

 

She longs to find a place 

In which she can finally breathe 

And even if she roams around naked 

   She won't be hurt 

 

She won't fear 

That her life will be taken away by

The Careless Man
