See them walking by
Under the scorching sun of the Nigerian sky
The hopeless gaze in their eyes says it all
It’s only a question of time before they fall
Too many folks out there are grieving
I don’t see half as many doing some giving
The government should be more present
We need religious groups who are God sent
I see widows out there, all alone
Society has left them on their own
Single mothers very desperate
They have all been left to their fate
Fathers who are too proud to cry out
For help they just can’t do without
Now, little sister is acting big
I heard she has got herself a mini skirt and a wig
My friend Tony has just bought a toy gun
He wants to play robbers but not for fun
There’s too much violence in the streets
And even more violence between the sheets
I used to think the police was your friend
All this disrespect has got to come to an end
Government officials, please stop acting the fools
Better do everything you can to keep our youngsters busy in schools
I hear that justice is no longer served the way it used to be
Now, what you get is what you see
The rich are getting richer
While the poor, even poorer
In this whole confusion, how can you provide peace?
Especially in the face of so much unequal justice.
