Ignite



Indignation ignited
You cant suppress the voices
Their hearts grew so fearless and bold
They bleed but with a smile

You can vacate a piece of land
But their faith is ever increasing
Giving others a lesson of steadfastness
Melting hearts everywhere with a glance

But the hearts of oppressors, weak and fearful
Reckoning on their weapons n technologies
Hiding behind their lies and devil
Waiting to unleash a new era of evil

A man hollowing a wall to provide food to hungry
And the oppressors bulldozing patients and injured
Killing little babies like innocent angels
Yet half the world seems blind to what's right and who is wrong

With tied hands and empty stares
Stony hearts and caring only for their shares
Just wait and watch till the tables turn
If you ignite a fire so wild rest assured to be burnt.
