For the ones we lost.

SARS men want to break the youth

Is it me or my hair they dread

Can’t walk in peace

I live in fear

cant take lean make me disappear


Since the government don’t wanna hear my pleas

rather take sides with the police

Put me under when I’m already down

Then tell me

‘fine boy, why won’t you smile’


Don’t tell me stories

I don’t need more news

don’t call me to talk

when I’m getting bruised

Tell me do you care for our lives?

We are the future

yet you watch us die.
