The Silent Pain We Continue to Bear

Collectively, we bear the pain

Where people have to suffer

Pains of ignorance.

They lose their rights to freedom

Before they find solutions.

Collectively, we bear the pain.

There remains an underclass 

That groans in pain.

Their fellows unjustly find their way to freedom

And turn into a serious problem

Wrap themselves in influence and power

That birth dirty riches and wealth.

Collectively, we bear the pain,

Where injustice and suffering 

Is exchanged for truth

And men sleep under bridges 

With stones as pillows

And cartons as beds

His fellows who claimed to be exalted

Pass by and smile

With arrogant speeches.

Collectively, we bear the pain,

Where you sit on bare floors

You beg before you eat and drink

You stand and talk like them

You are condemned and rejected.

Collectively, we bear the pain.

From time past until now

There remains an under-class

That groans and struggles through life alone

Suffering as if you must ATONE.
