Poverty Aid

every day people livin in poverty

livin on the street with nothin to eat they sit and hope and believe

because lifes been unkind and so have we

poverty no longer an anomaly a daily occurunce

how can you not see that these kids are scared

angers flared why the fuck do we not care

we walk past carry on our daily tasks

when these kids are waiting for their fate

rotting into a skin n bones carcass we still dont donate

a pound a day to poverty aid

just enough to keep these kids sane

and help them dump the shame and forget the abuse

that theyve been through

sleepin on a bench , tree for shelter

kids not even teens sittin on their own

or in their mums arms scared to death equipt with firearms

fake a false smile coz they aint charmed when we walk past

all they want is one blessing

for us to give to UNICEF

its a test theyd rather be arrested than be depressed

on the street with cuts across their chest

cold with no shoes on their feet

nothin to eat and no where to sleep
