Poverty

Cryin' baby
Cold, damp floor
Empty fridge
Broke down car
Piled up bills
Howlin' heater
Late for work
Prayin' long
Demanding boss
Same old soup
Confusing homework
Outgrown school clothes
Losing sleep
Stale bread
Hearing gunshots
Son's got attitude
Family strung out
Friends need help
Fast food treat
Man in jail
Kids need dad
Broken sidewalk
Shattered windows
Cops don't come
Judged by zip code
Church so cold
No green grass
Broken glass
Wild dogs
Doctor helps
Can't fill script
Stressed out
Loud, loud world
Bus transfer
Invisible life
Streets seem near
Options sad
Baby cryin'.
