Choking charm
Just listen to the heartbeat
of disaster,
lips are trembling,
the future becomes one big
monster that swalloms them
in death
Debt is the hammer
that continues to hit their
head anytime they try
to flee for freedom,
in the extinction of money
Just see this social mathematics,
as to why the crime rate
increases,
with hunger dancing in the stomach,
burning unpleasantly,
eyes are reddening,
compassion is stolen by the drought
and their desperate hands
reach for the gun,
because death will be the price
to pay, if they sit
on the thorny seat of starvation
This is why we have robbers,
well, one of the reasons,
just look at crime,
and you know that somehow,
the hands of help have been hidden
from them,
but they linger happily
in the absence of salvation,
once the stomach indoctrinates
them with compelled evil
It's like a social nicotine
injected to them by the syringe
of hard times,
please, help poor and needy,
you never know,
because the stomach
has the strongest, persuasive voice,
when it comes to the court
of ones body.
