Where do we stand at this very crucial hour
When a lot lives live lives to be desired and much stress
People being strangulated daily by the hardship
They are bound to shoulder alone as if they owe
The world and should be hung on gallows for
Being poor in a world that adores wealthy people
Even if these billionaires are high profile thieves
Whose hands drip human blood that got slaughtered
In order to maintain a stay in power so as to continue to
Slaying the wealth of the nations they govern
Making themselves rich while their citizens go lacking
Wallowing in deep misery and dreaming of that great day
Of liberation they seek daily so that their penury is forgotten
Dragged to the ground because their wealth is now destined
To their off springs so that the kind of gloomy life they experienced
Shall never be bequated to their sons and daughters
Meaning their long time suffering had been paid in gold
Wow what they missed shall forever be enjoyed by their offspring
This is the moment for men and women with a conscience to
Should stand up together so that these thieves shall have no
Hiding place to hide their heads when they are haunted
Down for wanton crimes committed against humanity
Making their nations poorer than when they took over
As leaders now turned hit men and full of ego
Ah egocentric tendencies have never been a good product
Let's hold them captive so that they shall be
Nailed to the cross of shame now and forever
