Where your parents tell you that you might get raped;
Where they want you to be safe
But tell you to be all afraid;
What a wonderful place
Where the same parents don’t preach their sons
And tell their daughters to be unscathed;
What a wonderful place
Where you need to think before thinking
And think again before speaking;
What a wonderful place
Where they tell us not to trust anyone
For those who maybe evil;
Where the same trust is for the undeserving
And don’t matter the deserving;
What a wonderful place
Where a father calls his daughter a slut
For having chosen who she loves;
And
Where the same father finds an abusive suitor,
For that of her fate,
To satisfy his ego,
He would go to any stake,
What is wrong with this place??
What a wonderful place!
What a wonderful place!
Where God is used
In place of Devil’s face,
Where lives are taken,
Just because of your faith and race;
What a wonderful place!
Where we have power to choose what’s right
And yet we sit and criticize
While just another illiterate,
Leads our nation’s demise!
