Pointless wars
Violent outpours
Riots rippling through time
Wasted time we can't rewind
Progress unseen
Suffering in between
Helplessly begging more
Hopelessness for the hungry and poor
Still we see no change
Though promised things remain the same
We've prayed for a brighter day
We're still colors not names
In need of an outpour
Of a greater future in store
A greater hope for our kids
But for now, that's just the way it is.
