Struggling 2011

[MartyrX]

No one believes in hope anymore
No one thinks positive these days
We've been shaken to the core
Exposed to our negative ways

I bow my head and pray
Fives times a day
To push the Jinn away
And keep the Devil at bay

No one cares about one another
Rape their sisters, kill their brothers
Everyone wants more wealth
To spite their own health

I struggle to survive
To keep my head above water
I can't falter
My son needs me alive

We're killing ourselves
Empty bookshelves
Ignoring our history
Blinded by the TV

All I want is a life
I can smile about
Nice kids and a beautiful wife
I can talk about

To push the Jinn away
And keep the Devil at bay
