Filthy Hands to Famished Mouths - Earth Crisis

Third world squalor, inhuman conditions

Death stalks the have nots through depravation

Open sewers, polluted water, monoxide consumes the air

Crowded into shanty structures.

Born into a nightmare

Starvation and execution.

Starvation and execution

Scavenging in garbage piles, emaciated, malnourished

Most turn away from those below

Pleading for sustenance.

The horrors, children suffer below poverty

Sickness, fear and ignorance, all needlessly

Starvation and execution.

Starvation and execution

Lives that deserve a chance written off as useless

Police death squads

Disappearances.

Shots in the night, hidden graves;

Their victim’s only inheritance.

Discarded humanity surrounds discarded

Humanity.

Starvation and execution.

Starvation and execution

The murdered slaved or stole for crumbs or drugs to deaden

Constant hunger.

To deaden consciousness to the coldness in which they lived

From filthy hands to famished mouths
