where do we go
and at what cost
intentions show
when human rights are lost

where do we go
and at what cost
intentions show
when human lives are lost

this silence hurts
scared to speak up
their pain is worse
this empathy, a curse

nothing so wrong
we can't make right
life is not lived
in black and white

the struggles' real
needless fight
when people are killed
standing up for what's right

the enemy
not at the gates
Fascist Tyranny
it might soon be too late

we are our own
worst enemies
the tension grows
when hatred is sowed

something is askew
thought Jesus said
love thy neighbor
not to wish them dead

so called Christians
are not Christ like
the rhetoric is
meek destroyed by might

please lift us up
up off the ground
good Samaritans
Luke 10:33 it's found

the shortest verse
now comes to mind
he would surely cry
humanitarian crisis
