Concerning Feelings
                   Concerning Feelings
 
When you hear of the continuing 
Genocide of the African peoples
The stealing of the resources
The centuries of killings
Of man woman and child
Under the pretenses of racial superiority 
How does that make you feel?
 
Today when you hear the news
Another dozen or so Iraqis have been killed
Adding to the many thousands already killed
Man woman and child
Victims of a continuing conspiracy of greed and injustice
Today masking behind the banner of democracy
How do you feel about your humanity?
 
Then you hear that more
Of Palestine is been stolen
Man woman and child
Victimized demonized
By this conspiracy with religion
Once again the main justification
For the killing of man woman and child
How do you feel spiritually?
 
When you look at Central and South America
Seeing those death squads
Under puppet governments
Murdering man woman and child
Under the guise of fighting communism
So foreign corporations can plunder at will
Leaving communities destitute
How do you feel about the integrity?
 
Then you look at Asia, The Pacific Rim
Invasions and wars to establish oppression
The many many millions killed
Adding to countless victims world wide
A million and two reasons trying to explain away
These crimes against humanity
The continuing robbing, pillaging and rampaging
Slaughtering of man woman and child
How do you feel about the morality?
 
Look at Europe and the terrors and horrors
Radiating out of that place against humanity
The continuing wars and atrocities
Giving themselves this sense of entitlement
To the resources and lives of the people in
Africa, The Middle East, The Americas,
Asia, The Orients, The World over
Killing man woman and child
Robbing and stealing behind lies and divisions
How do you feel about truths and rights 
 
Today when you see the seats
Of power and authority with inflated egos
Offering all the excuses
Seeking justifications for crimes against humanity
Do remember, truths and rights forever stand
Remind those that spin yarns to ease consciences
To facilitate the continuous injustices
Actions, not word spoken 
The testimony of deeds done 
And with all the justifications in the world
You can never make wrong right
Not yesterday, not today, not tomorrow
So the murdering of Man Woman and Child
Pillaging and plundering in whatever name
Church and State, King and country 
Race and Nationality, Religion and politics
Was wrong yesterday, is wrong today, will be wrong tomorrow.
