spiritual, family, grief ,
This is the richest i have ever been.
I buy most of my food
I do not have to steal to eat
This time i will not go to hell
I do not fight for my food
I do not kill the same way
Surely this time i will not go to hell
This is the richest i have ever been
I live here without war
No arrows or spears pierce my walls
No blood stains where my children are christened
They laugh easy
They sleep with smiles and small toys
No, hell does not know my name
No, hell does not know my name
This is the poorest i have ever been
My child is stealing to eat
There are broken windows broken people broken hope
Why did hell forget my name and call out to my child
