Oppressors



We shall run away
Far away, in the squalor hills we lay
Leave us be, oh you oppressors 
Is not the limit reached that we must pay?

You have stripped us of our homes
Rags we do wear
We begged for food from our beggar neighbors
For you have not cared

You have forced your rules
With chest puffed with vanity
Taken swift action on debtors
turned away humanity

Your courts have voted against us
Slammed fists to table
Shouted, "You all have defaulted
We shall take back all we gave you!"

We shall run away
Far away, in the squalor hills we lay
Leave us be, oh you oppressors 
What have we left that you shall take? ©
