Poverty ,big words strong words meaning,
See a different world from the one I'm seeing.
Dehydration, ill communication, bad nutrition and bad sanitation.
Lights camera action life's unfolded, children growing up beaten and scolded.
You lie awake with cuts and roses,
No tombstone could pay for the pure you revolted.
Eat your veg,
Don't do drugs,
Scrap that do whatever is good-
Advice from the dumb.
Listen while they wail and moan,
You listen to the voice who's still unknown.
Stranger danger, red lights flashing.
But someone cut the circuit you think it's normal,
He compliments your smile and you feel wholesome
Elaborate?
No, he said it was a secret
Call to help?
No, Who is going to listen?
Poverty, big words strong words, meaning-
I have a different world from the one you're seeing.
