Big, Black Burqa

A stack of bills lies next to a broken legacy, a blown out candle, a trip gone cold

Bombs fall from the skies, children cry, with every bang a story dies

A woman robbed, you see her sob, her groceries fell, this life is hell

Shootings are around us, just watch the channel news.,

I will later, I’ll watch on YouTube, more than 1,000,000 views

Let’s watch the dogs fight

Let’s slap that bitch right

I hear the screams of a shattered dream, the lights are on

I’ll keep walking though, I have no time

A man laid on the ground, he can be saved

Will nobody help him, stand up be brave

I am the king of me, I am invincible

It matters not what’s done to others, it goes against my principle

I blindly go, the forward path, my eyes are covered black

with the big black burqa that covers my body , but especially my eyes

no turning back

I like my ignorance, I wear it proud

to move beyond would be too loud

of a noise of reality, I can’t stand the sound

Let me be numb of all suffering and helplessness and pain

It’s none of my business, I’ll say it again

they’re just other humans, they don’t benefit me none

We are born and we die with each setting sun

So I’ll keep on living, this life like a horse

my invisible master will take me on course

for now I’ll keep walking, there’s nothing to see

Because the big, black burqa shadows me
