Hope Demised
The people we lost
with memories we shared,
all had a meaning
in life to bare
As we passed through toil
and the gales of storms
We held each other close
without letting go
As we stepped on new soil
there we wept
The torment we delt with
under those white dogs
That oppressed the many
and showed us didain
With no haste they set us to work,
with no pay, no gain,
no place to call home
Our pain , our oppression
had all been disregarded
Our hope for later had all a while been retarded
As life moves on,
in generations to come
We hope there'll be a better day
We know there'll be a better day
