Faith / Fate
By Shurese Resé Bailey
Every night, my heart aches
My whole body shakes
I can’t understand the charges I’m on
Sometimes I wish I was never born
This crazy world, with its twist of fate
And all along, you find you’re the bait
What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Uh, I forgot
The democracy we live in is filthy!
You’ve shut down my dreams and hope
And now you expect me to cope
Faith has brought me all this way
Yeah, you’re right on that note
