The Homeless And Hungry

Their circumstance of birth is their greatest foe The children who will never know of a fair go The journey from poverty street for many ends in jail time Since poverty, homelessness and hunger are life paths to crime Their parents and grand parents no strangers to jail On their side of the town many are born to fail To succeed in life they have to beat the odds The poor homeless children of the lesser gods By the suburb they live in branded with a bad name Though for their bad circumstances they should not be to blame In survival alone a huge challenge they do meet The poor homeless children of poverty street Survival for them is a battle to fight The homeless and hungry who sleep rough tonight.
