We Trade Our Silence For Cash

Winter season comes and they flock to our shore

Europeans, Americans, Canadians and a whole lot more

Trading monies for golden sands and crystal clear waters

Regardless to what they thought of our sons and daughters

Along time ago we banned the sale of any merchandise

Distributed through South Africa so as not to compromise

Equality standards wronged by the Apartheid regime

Outrageous practices from a Government extreme

United States is said to have had its share of wrong

Ruthless genocide of natives and Blacks not feeling to belong  

So many racial battles fought for civil rights

It is unconscionable to see Blacks having to fight the Whites

Lots of pockets of cruelty has colored the past

Every nation seems to have slaughter their outcast

Now the descendants of this brutality

Calls for you to walk away, pretend you didn’t see

Eras of wrongs committed and some not so long go

Forefathers laid the bricks in history now descendants must know

Our people, their people, and your people too

Remained bruised by the past and cash wouldn’t do

Clean up your past by planting remorseful seeds

Assure your regrets by sharing the mended proceeds

Silence can be bought but the pain still screams from the past

Horrific past may not go away but you can stop having an outcast
