Apathy - Mr. J. Medeiros

If you’re assuming that mankind has a right to survive

Find an alternative to war before that man goes blind

With that eye for an eye talk tooth for a tooth talk

We’d all need seeing eyes dogs

And our food from a juice straw

Misusing the truth for an instrument of violence

Is like the innocent admiring the rule of a tyrant

Its fuel for a fire sent into the womb

Giving birth to the very child you meant to consume

The commune we create by meeting hate with hate

Demoralizes us humans so we can’t relate

We’re segregated in our communities

By our economical placement

But agape doesn’t recognize value it creates it

We’re born in a state where we constantly abandon

The principles of love for a complement to stand on

It’s like we in trouble and paying double for ransom

Just know that through the struggle

You got a cosmic companion

And a confidence that can’t run

From comments or handguns

When you bombing a mans home

And affecting his plans none

It reflects on his grandson the respect that that man won

Loving with no retreat

Turning cheeks when the hands come

Holding the meek for ransom

Like you care what their worth

Know the people you can’t stand might inherit the earth

And this evil just can’t handle when we sharing the hurt

Baring the cross staring at Who carried it first

Finding true peace is not merely the absence of tension

But the presence of justice in an act of redemption

Internationally mentioned is it locally heard

From the grave of civil rights I see the hopefuls emerge

Bodies broken into words only to grow into a statement

Never let anyone bring you so low

That you would hate them

In 1968 when that shot rang out

The lyrics «We Shall Overcome»

Is what that crowd sang out

And I believe without a doubt that every word in the song

Can be infinitely heard intently birds sing on

From the cages that bind us the inner rage that blinds us

Covering what’s written on the pages that define us

Is it the day behind us or the one that’s arrived

Making way for a path to survive

Know that love is alive and you can count on this

Ease up slow down revolutionaries bounce to this
