Lamentation
Those we relied on, yes
We relied on them
With a view
That we were together,
But they have sold us
For a peace of silver.
They oppress the poor,
They crush the needy
And publish lies
On the pages of newspapers
In place of truth, of things they have
done for us.
But they are multiplying
Their sorrow,
Because they declined
Being corrected.
If God restrains rain,
What would happen to this globe
As they restrain our need
From us?
They see us and have taken us
As their perpetual slaves,
But God will overthrow them
As He did in Sodom and Gomorrah.
They say they are the untouchable
But all eyes shall see them,
Who proclaim they are courageous,
Men of integrity, dignity and authority
Fleeing naked on the Day to come
Because they refuse to incline ears
To the hullabaloo of the forest tigress
Hullabalooing because of hunger.
God of the widows and the poor
Shall never tarry to visit all.
Is there any language
That God does not understand?
