The Power of These

The bad guys look like good guys
In fact they look like
grandpas and brothers
uncles and daddies and friends
Their skin is usually white
They have more than enough
Yet they must take from the children and the women 
The most vulnerable and the most responsible

~

We pay them well
In fact they own most of the wealth 
Yet we like to make sure they keep it
even though we are the ones who need
It is by their hands we bleed

~

Rock a bye baby 
Far up in the tree top
We want you to be safe
So we don’t see you
when you cry for help
And we certainly don’t hear you
when you cry
Rape!

~

Holy holy holy
Whoever’s name we like to throw around
When it suits us
But we don’t really know You
And we certainly don’t love anything but the power of these
