Wonder Why

Power corrupts, small men suffer from megalomania
violence erupts, when they rape modern Mesopotamia
don’t need a doctor to do the diagnosis; mythomania
Sumeria, first signs of civilization found in Asia
blood and grief, the foundation of the innocent nation
doomed to damnation, fall victim to my lyrical assassination
far beyond his imagination, facing mental rehabilitation
now no hesitation, but what when tasting the temptation
from loneliness to isolation, remember to remain patient

life is a game, and you are a piece in a play of chess
cuz the next move you cannot predict, only guess
all these beautiful words, but who do you address
checkmate,  last time I checked, people were still oppressed
winning a war at the cost of dead children ain’t success
people proudly defend the right to freely express
what’s on your mind, while committing that crime
bombing nations 100 years back in time, that’s the crime

little African girl wonder, why no one march for me
well let me see, I know you lost your entire family
the devil’s plea, greedy girl, at least you got democracy
and honestly, why would I care, you live so far away from me
I guarantee thee, that if you see me
know that I am only here to sightsee
so don’t dare to destroy my appetite with your reality

wonder why world leaders whisper they need us
look how they treat us, with bombs they feed us
a bunch of cheaters, they look at us, but can’t see us
you are dumb not a genius, thinking they’ll free us
all they do is beat us, don’t be fooled by their tuxedos
