Piracy

Off our coast, they dump toxic waste

that’s why in our food, we can taste

the after taste, of chemical waste

there is a long and bloody legacy

where they take and show no mercy

we can see the inconsistency

when they hide behind democracy

so we turn to piracy

and lose legitimacy

their actions no one can deter

for them to stop, we prefer

This responsibility, we cannot transfer

to the U.N. we cannot always defer

This is colonialism but in 2009

If you don’t agree with me

Ask the billions around the world who see

What does it mean to see freedom, but not be free?

What does it mean to hear about freedom but not be free?

What does it mean to pray for freedom, but never be free?
