When will this end?
Mass shootings
Terrorist attacks
Police brutality
They say it's just a gun control problem
They say it cannot be fixed
I say the problem is deeper
I say there is hope
When will this end?
Income inequality
Veterans living on the streets, penniless,
Dying kwa their own hands every day.
Some say they will make America better
But nothing has changed...
And I truly do fear
Nothing ever will
When will upendo start?
The siku we offer a hand to the fallen
Instead of cringing back in shock
And running away
When will our world change?
The siku we upendo too much to kill
The siku others' pain becomes our pain
The siku we act instead of just talking about it
"It's impossible"
"We're too broken to be mended"
"It's a hopeless battle"
Yes, it's hard, but let us try.
