Third world squalor
Inhuman conditions
Death stalks the have nots
Through deprivationOpen sewers, polluted water
Monoxide consumes the air
Crowded into shanty structures
Born into a nightmareStarvation and execution
Starvation and executionScavenging in garbage piles
Emaciated, malnourished
Most turn away from those below
Pleading for sustenanceThe horrors
Children suffer below poverty
Sickness, fear and ignorance
All needlesslyStarvation and execution
Starvation and executionLives that deserve
A chance written off as useless
Police death squads
DisappearancesShots in the night, hidden graves
Their victim's only inheritance
Discarded humanity
Surrounds discarded humanityStarvation and execution
Starvation and execution
Starvation and execution
Starvation and executionThe murdered, slaved or stole
For crumbs or drugs to
Deaden constant hungerTo deaden consciousness
To the coldness in which they lived
From filthy hands to famished mouths
