Indigence explodes raining shards of complacency on broken families
Violence points guns pulling triggers of ignorance killing innocence
Bullets speed quickly across barriers of time piercing the future
Parents are haunted by screams from beyond the grave of murdered children
The war is on
Crack and smak smiling illusions of happiness stand on the corner
Thieves steal through the night silent phantoms in the dark breaking into lives
Drugs rob the children
Hunger devours their strength
They sleep in anger
The streets lure the young with promises of riches stifling the spirit
Music from cars blasting curses and obscenities sing of degradation and humiliation
Mothers shed tears crying for children gone astray lost in shades of gray
Poverty marches on
Jesus is waiting
Silently keeping vigil
Through the long dark night
