Who Is Counting

So you’re a figure in a headline
A number among millions
Left to be forgotten
In this system, so rotten

You are yet another drowning
to quietly be buried
in this sea of racist lies
Where the truth in vitro dies

Refr.
So who is counting
these people that are killed?
Who is counting
the dreams not fulfilled?

So you’re a person in a prison
Non existent behind walls
A number to be sorted
to one day be deported

Yet another alien
too many to be named
and the bars that cross your time
won’t be counted as a crime

So who is counting
these people that are killed?
Who is counting
the dreams not fulfilled?
