LloSs -T hOPe

Ships they come from over the water 

Ships that carry hopes not slaughter.

Ships of peace not ships of war 

Not ships of arms but ships of stores


We all wait hungry on the beach

Watch ships go by beyond our reach

We stand in rags with little hope

Of grasping crumbs from  passing boats


 So called leaders eyes with greed

Snatch the sacks we badly need

To feed the profits we don’t see

They just don’t want us to be free.


Gripped  by hunger , thirst , and death.

Our voices gone with our last breath

Disease and war it seals our fate

And grinds us to a numbing state.


But white or black we all are strong 

And mankind will sometime hear the  song

And one day ships will proudly bear

The aid we need ,and given fair
