Eye in the sky
Sharon Maria Moemise
Witness to the days of slavery and segregation
To where nations gathered, begging to be heard
Seeing the tears from our planet's lamentation
For wrongs that won't be righted on dear Mother Earth
Bloated babies, parents bemoaning their demise
Fat cats watching, rolling in ill-begotten wealth
Mothers weeping, young girls' deflowered, despised
By monsters who sow the seeds of disease and death
Gun- toting tots trained to maim and murder their own
Starvation and death feeling like the only way out
of a world owned by thugs where devil seed is sown
While feasting on drugs, murder and mayhem
While I look around at the destruction of Gods creations
Plundering and damage caused by human invention
I yearn for a moment's indulgence of heaven's purity
Without being burdened by thoughts of life's insecurities
Eye in the sky looking but hardly seeing the sufferings
of babies born in the streets, mothers begging for a place
To lay their heads and to ease their children's crying
shouting in agony, weeping in mourning for the human race
