Poverty Can Be Stopped!

Eaten from inside
While you're struggling to survive
Denied of any food
Body reeks of bile, cannot wash it clean
From infecting open wounds
Starving children die
Left to rot like meat
Nothing they can do
Western world still thrives
Masses are obese
In excess we consume
Hunger never satisfied
A constant lust for feed
Devouring disease
Overfed a human mass
Is struggling just to breathe
Devouring disease
Eaten from inside
While you're struggling to survive
Denied of any food
Western world still thrives
Masses are obese
In excess we consume
Greed
Life within a constant tomb
Death
Life ends quickly, far too soon
