1. Do you hear their cry???
Are you deaf?
Or you just don’t care!
Why you should hard hearted?
When all they ask for is a loaf of bread
They are hungry
Why do you harass them?
They are homeless in their own homeland
They are landless in their own land of birth
They are powerless in their own motherland
All they want is a home to live
A plot to plough, to feed themselves.
Handout, no empty promises
To amuse them, not to harass them
They are hopeless, because they are jobless
Stop lying to them because they are not useless
What they need in guidance
They are real human beings
Who walk through fire,
Fire hotter than hell
Help them to make it
Help them to recapture their stream of life
After being hedged in a world of abuse
Atrocities beyond imagination
Picking themselves up is an uphill task
Why can’t you help them?
Listen to their cry
Do you hear them?
Or you just don’t care
