IN THE GHETTOS
Children are struggling to stay alive
It is a daily suffering just to survive,
Billions spent on wars for human destruction
Whilst the future, our children, lack education
 
Chicago, thousands go to bed hungry every night
How sad? This isn’t right
Forever boasting we are the most powerful nation
While ignoring an entire generation
 
Building schools for a foreign society
But ours, in dire straight poverty
Gangs are getting bigger every day
From drugs, kids are earning pay
 
When would we learn not to roam?
And first take care of home,
Believing we must police the world
Will be the destruction of every soul!
