Down in the ghettos you see the decay

Drug abuse and violence each day,

Not because they were born bad at heart

But because they were simply torn apart,

By those at the top, the elites who won’t share

So the poor were left in squaller but the rich don’t care,

Denied any opportunities because they never have degrees

They worship academia over creativity,

They focus on material shit and on greed

And demand to  keep many in poverty,

To ensure they have the fodder to produce their shit

While giving them a pittance for long hard shifts,

And maybe we are stupid for doing this

But you need money to buy food so you can eat,

And what’s the alternative, selling drugs and committing crime,

Often far too tired and stressed to use your creative mind,

And being less than interested in producing material shit,

We find ourselves left wallowing in the poverty pit.
