And what can you say
And what can you do
When these who claim to be friends
Thrust blades through trusting hearts? To whom will you turn when these
Formulate fears and devise deaths on a sunshine day?

How can those who plan to take away
From the mouth of our child the meal and milk
Stand to say they care?

The day has declared the deed
Flowers bow their heads in shame
And the wind whispers warnings of betrayals
And the few who empowered
Are shocked with tears and more tears.

Tomorrow awaits more revelations
As time unveils on the stage of struggles
The strategies of these strangers, total strangers,
To defy the cries of the poor.
