Is life truly fair?
What's the colour of life?
I have heard people say
They have seen pepper from life
Does that mean life is red?

Judge righteously
Who will plead our curse
Children dying of illness
Women unable to survive
Men toiling all night catching nothing

Empty pots and kitchen
Yes with empty purses
Sleeping on empty stomach
Judge righteously,

Plenty pilled up in places not needed
While the needy go unnoticed
Hunger and taste has a location
Found only in the house of the poor
While the rich sings of his wastes.

What happened to love in sharing?
Where is the one who's heart is cheerful in giving?
Lack is man made.
Crafted from the injustice of the rich
To make the poor remain so.

But I will arise and sleep no more
folding of the hands is gone!
I take my place because he who owns
all became poor, just for me
thou he was rich
Now I see..

Abundance awaits
Barns full
Home joyful
Health restored
Rejoice help is here..
Red is now the colour of love..
