Counting stars and wishing hours;
the eyes that pierce space and time.
Hopes of true comfort and desire
Is it the same for you and me?
Do you seek justice and fair life,
even when seated comfortably at night?
Do the voice of the people linger inside you
or do you shut it out in plain sight?
Can you not see the side to be crossed?
The part where survival stood with dignity;
souls filled with hope and dreams to spare
but were showered with lies then bloomed despair.
Will you lend some spare change?
Will you lend us some light?
Will you fit the same shoe up and help make things right?
Not much will be asked,
just a foundation to stand tall.
To make roots strong – to grow.
It is all that is asked, nothing more.
If time catches up for what is left
Do not bury the signs then leave it unsaid.
This part may not matter for some
but it will always live here, dust to none.
