Poverty Over Power

My point of view

Diamonds thousand dollar cars

You all act like filthy rich stars

The rich swim in gold

Many are selfish, envious& cold

The there's the poor who drown in financial dept

I dreamt of a better life as I slept

~~~~~

Eight year old kids working

Out late at night, where death is lurking

My hands full of dirt

Messy hair, stained shirt, torn apart skirt

Took a long walk& saw the bodies laying lifeless

Its true pain& suffering is timeless

A mother holds her dead child

I pretend the baby's just sleeping for a while

~~~~~

My boots have holes

And I can't take it anymore

We shouldn't be working all day, were only kids

Why won't you realize what it is you did?

Look up at the stars

Hope that tings won't forever be this hard

~~~~~

The big difference between them& us is that we live everyday like its our last

We sit for hours remembering our broken past

All of us had to fend for ourselves

Without anyone's help

Were the ones who remain

We live under the shadows of fame

Our saviors disappeared

That's when we learned we had to be strong& not fear

~~~~~

You can lock your doors

But you won't be able to survive this war

Look at us, the kids life's you destroyed

Homeless girls& boys

Nothing left for us to lose

All we feel is hatred towards all of you

Al we can say is get ready for whats coming

I'll give you a head start, you better start running
