Aid Operations
And covert manipulations
Help or hinder?
You be the decider
Are we feeding the hungry and clothing the naked?
Or starving a culture and stripping its dignity
Rumpled and tossed in a Western hamper
I am my brother’s keeper.
But are you Cain?
Or are you Abel cuz I can’t tell
The difference between the truths and the stereotypes
You create, perpetuate and sell
A saver or a savior? Dare I ask the question:
Are either really needed?
Warnings of misplaced intentions are never heeded
Cuz last time I checked a savior has already died and risen
And He never left the “saved” in a Western media prison
Is rocking out with Bono in your red Gap Ts
Actually about aid or making television scenes
I guess you have to determine if the ends justify the means.
