I Know it Was Not Your Fault
Refrain:
I know that it was not your fault.
They were cruel and inhumane.
I should have gone and gotten you out,
Not watch as you were slain.
I saw the way they captured you,
And threw you in that box.
I watched them each and every day,
Pelting you with rocks.
I saw the sores and open wounds,
That covered your cracked skin.
I watched your meals slide through the slot,
And you get parched and thin.
I heard the way your knuckles cracked,
After being stiff so long.
I watched you suffer every day,
And I knew it was wrong.
I heard your screams all through the night,
When pain became too harsh.
I heard them laugh and point at you,
And drop you in the marsh.
I even saw the stream of bubbles,
As you ran out of air.
And I had the audacity,
To just sit there and stare.
(Refrain)
