An Ode to Human Rights
We fought for rights and fought like hell
many died, but human rights was on our side.
...
In everyone's mind
A story is written
From the day we are born
With sound, smell and vision
...
It was easier to say goodbye
than stand there clumsy
19 and shy
You said "Hello"
...
Glistening pieces of my broken heart
Mock me in the sun
I sit and watch kids playing games
Like you They catch and run
...
My life in colour
.
As I age in shades of gray
and reminisce 'bout younger days
...
Eat all your vegies
be seen and not heard
dont talk to strangers
give up the last word
...
I sit here chained,
the foot of my Master's bed,
a withering corpse that cares not for worldly pleasures,
I yearn for His spirit
...
Maybe the cat ate a poisoned bat
Or one too many rats and just got fat
So fat it just sat
With being so fat maybe the cat was dead instead
...
An up hill battle on my way home
Wrestling the wind holding me back.
...
An Ode To Human Rights
An Ode to Human Rights
We fought for rights and fought like hell
many died, but human rights was on our side.
Human Rights, the world we'd tell
fighting till the other side fell
Human rights we screamed with pride
Human rights was on our side
Our morals claimed as our bullets maimed
Courage found and hero's famed
Fathers died and widows cried
But we fought on as we turned the tide
Human rights were replaced today
Given up, pushed aside
behind those rights our enemies hide.
For new values in this race
human rights have had to slide.
Safety and security now rank first place,
We say "they lied", as their children died
Security won through the barrel of gun
they lost their sons, we lost our pride
as we shoved morals to one side
and human rights came undone
