The Walk Of Sorrow

Oh how cold it has got tonight.
Even as fire lights the sky.
A canvas of destruction.
An abolished future,
A little boy walks the streets searching for food for his sister.
He steps in the wrong place and boom he's gone.
I have been covered in his entrails and I never wanted to be.
His sister will die.
And their not really anything I can do because I don't know where she is.
God if you hear me.
I'm sorry I didn't search fast enough.
I'm sorry I couldn't hear her cries.
I'm sorry I couldn't catch her tear dropp as she made her last unanswered plea.
Born in sin.
Live in sin.
Die in sin.
Where it begins it will also come to an end.

Listen To Me

Sister,
l am not sitting in front of you
because l am gone.

There are things that have
consumed my soul and l
am not the person you see.

My heart is on fire and
not even the waters of the Volta
can put it out.

My sister,
l have lost my bearing
an animal has captured me
and done to me what no
human being should suffer.

Did you hear laughter, my sister?
these are not sounds of joy
but the laughter that only
a bitter man can laugh to cry.

I fear for the night because
sleep has quareled with my eyes
and refused to make peace with me
and l toss on my bed like wood
that has been carried away by flood water.

I cannot cry my sister, since
my tear ducts are dried because of
what has happened to me.

I sought happiness and bought
sorrow with all that evil with it
and my whole life is just one that
can never know joy, my sister.

Didn't you see it happening?
why didn't you say a word to stop
me from taking those steps
towards disaster, my sister?

Hush Little Sister

Hush, little sister
Please don't cry
I wish I could be there
To sing you a lullaby

I can see your arms
Bloodied and bruised
That's strange, little sister
Mine were like that too

I know you scream
When Daddy's there
Hush, little sister
I know you're scared

I can see the way
He's hurting you
I'm sorry, little sister
He did that to me too

I know that people
Ignore what's going on at home
That makes me angry, little sister
You shouldn't have to be alone

Hey, little sister
You want to know why I'm not there?
It's a sad story, little sister
But people should care

You see, little sister
One day Daddy got high
You were asleep in your crib
So you didn't hear my cry

He screamed at me
And smashed my head against the door
While you slept, little sister
I died on the floor

You know, little sister
I don't think that I would have died
If someone had only bothered
To listen to my cries

But hush, little sister
Daddy's coming home
Quick, get into bed
You don't want him to find you alone

I'm sorry little sister
He's in a bad mood
Run while you can

Uh oh little sister
He's lifting his belt
Scream while you can, little sister
Call for help

Hush little sister
You don't need to cry
No one can hurt you
You're in my arms tonight.

My sister dont

My sister please dont cry
My sister dry your eyes
My sister don't end your life
My sister your not his wife
My sister he's cold as a snake
My sister he's just a fake
My sister everything will be better when you wake
My sister Ive seen the pills you take
My sister he's full of lies
My sister don't even try
My sister your the one everyone likes
My sister don't start a fight
My sister it ends tonight
My sister I need you, don't end your life
