Starving America
A crushing viper created by the rich
Its poison spreads through the country
Strangling the working class
Taking their jobs and shipping them
away
Their children left to starve
Homes left empty as their shells rot
away
Squatters scramble to find anywhere dry
Hungry people wander the streets
looking for anything
Garbage cans become fancy restaurants
Spoiled and rotting food become gourmet
meals
Anything to keep the body and soul
alive
No one is safe from the viper's grasp
Doctors and businessmen move to tent
cities
Babies are left in suitcases or killed
Better they die fast than face a living
hell
Robberies and murders are common place
Violent fighting over a crust of bread
Hope died as the money faded away
Soup kitchens fill with hungry families
Everyone getting their one meal a day
The viper has struck
Grabbing America by the throat
Squeezing it to cut off its life
America will survive
The one percent will thrive
The rest of us...who knows?
