To Be Seen, To Be Done


If you are to be seen
Why hide
Behind curtains, robes
Order and law,
If you are so true
Why lie
To the mouths that speak
Of you,
Why bite
The hand
That's feeding you.


If you are to live with us
Why not Protect us,
We need you now
And always,
For ever
And ever
Be good,
If you want respect
Just be As equal as we,
What do you mean
Without we.


You came to save our madness
But madness turned you on,
We have one question
Justice,
That is,
Where have you gone??
