Walking Dead Of The Earth

What is anything really worth?

The amount of dollars I put in my purse

The medical insurance I hand to a nurse

Disperse all meaning

By applying a price to end suffering

Is demeaning

People begging for life

Weren’t we born with inalienable rights?

The D.O.I. Has no meaning

Not even the paper in which it was wrote

Supplying people with subliminal hope

Taken away on the day of their birth

Man determines your worth

By the color of your skin

Took away your chance

Before you begin

Never to get started

Forever stuck in place

While others departed

What is anything really worth?

I’m already nothing

Walking dead of the earth

Disperse my existence

Our lives tell a story you’ll witness

Never forgiven

For what we cannot control

As you observe the toll

Behold

Murder, self-destruction and hate

You are no God

Yet designed our fate

The rape of my people

What is anything really worth?

We are not equal

You made us beneath you

No matter how hard we try

Our final destination

Genocide
