Here's in you're Eye Mr Human Race
In the streets of ancient Cities
In the many third world countries
Little children play and die
Poverty is so bad
It makes a true heart cry
this little girl gathers from the rubbish pile
a little boy begs in the street
Sad faces look up at tourists reaching out
But hearts can only find room for some
and there are many, many more
O why do we let this happen
when men and women are making millions
and white collar criminals are skimming off the top
stock markets shift billions of dollars
and just maybe it might be possible to right the wrongs
Exploitation and utilization of local products
Rich Multinationals buying in third world for a pittance
and selling to the west for huge profits
Individuals making indecent amounts of money
Compassion is what we have for things that glitter
not our fellow man for theres no profit in it
We declare war on foriegn countries to gain control
Then we call our conflict a fight for freedom
a freedom for who?
Is it for the big multinational companies to control lost assets
Suppose we ask the injured and dying soldiers
Or maybe the mothers and Fathers who have lost their homes from bombs
so children continue to die and suffer
Girls and boys become prostitutes to western deviates
and human slavery is rife everywhere
Kidnappings and violent regimes are growing
Because of the desperate that need to survive
sometimes I wonder if I am really part of this disgusting race
a small majority exploit , use and denigrate
And we just stand by letting it happen
yes we donate to charities but even these are exploited
so what can we do ...how do we solve this sadness
