Will truth rise from the sands
of time, greed, lies, war, killings,
the way of humankind, demands,
humanity never satisfied; has
freedom died.
Hatred unleashed by wagging
tongues, the printed word now
symbols of distrust, a festering
world filled with lies; has
freedom died.
Unfit air to breathe, cannot trust
what we read, proof that there is
no truth from cold official words,
no one to come to the peoples
aid, everyone’s afraid; has freedom
died.
Where has hope gone, countless
hunger, lost jobs and homes,
living in fear, will truth rise from
the sands of time; has freedom
died…“Please God hear our cries“.
