I Saw (Eye Sore)

I saw a man spat upon
Just for the colour of his skin
What brought this on
For all he did was nothing

I saw a woman crying
Knowing not what to do
She had give up trying
She was battered black and blue

I saw a child scared and hunched
No longer wanting to be strong
Fed of being hit and punched
For doing nothing wrong

I saw, I saw it all
Why doesn't anyone feel
I saw, I saw it all
In a world so unreal
