Can We Be Forgiven?
Can we be forgiven for the errors we have made?
Will the debts we owe the world be ever fully paid?
Can we hope the future will be better than before?
A world where everybody isn't just demanding more.
Can we ever hope that peace will reign supreme,
That living with each other isn't just a crazy dream?
Can we see the day when 'One God' means what it implies,
And we can live together without xenophobic lies?
Can we see a day when there won't be 'black and whites'?
Can there be one day on earth when not one person fights?
Can there be a day when money all now spent on arms,
Is spent on starving mothers who have babies in their arms.
Can we see a day, when realising we are wrong,
We try to help the poor, and make the weakest strong,
To have a world where all of us can travel where we please,
Without the need for visas, or begging on our knees.
A wishful dream – the ramblings of a catatonic brain?
The dreams of the depressive, the ranting of disdain?
Perhaps not – as it seems we have – at long, long, long, long last
A man within the White House who's an erudite half–caste.
