My Glorious Neighborhood

Did I ever tell you I live in a town called Cesspool?
This place is located anywhere from sea to contaminated sea
Other towns you may have seen or heard
Sump, Filth, Hellhole, and Scum will make you want to flee.

Scoundrel's, vermin and miscreants creep in
Pestilence is on the rise
Industry & agriculture has seized operations
Staggering numbers of crime, drugs & suicide.

Job opportunities lost
Gentrification isn't the solution
Dead end jobs with no future
Children dying because of pollution.

We need to open our eyes
These issues will not disappear
Change is around the corner
Strength in numbers to eradicate the fear
