Years Of Abuse

Why do you still do this?
Still torture and abuse us.
Still keep us in your camps
And isolate us from our kin.
We give your food and build your houses
But you still treat us like nothing.
So I’m sorry for speaking up
But we’ve had enough of your stupidity.

Your government enriched in greed
And death they bring.
We are power and you are weak
We are life and you are death.
We are love and you are hatred
We are trees and you are humanity
And we will hate forever till time ends.
