Humanity's Tears

I cry for you When your anger is left to recklessly roam the streets and your venom is used to slaughter the innocent I cry for you When you disembowel your fellow human beings With your bare hands I cry for you When you ignite the fire of xenophobia And watch it consume my people I cry for you When you embrace your evil schemes And gather together to kill others I cry for every life lost I cry for the children left behind I cry even more For those who are keeping quiet As the fire of xenophobia burns I cry for South Africa I cry for Africa I cry for planet earth I cry for myself I cry humanity's tears Dedicated to the victims of xenophobia in South Africa
