Empty pockets and dreams of living lavishly,
Is the darkest torment I've ever known feels like reality,
Blown out of proportion and multiplied by a thousand times the time it takes,
To awaken millions of clouded minds.
Divided by the forces of gravity holding us down,
Not geology but depravity, it's going aroun,
"We abase to abound" that's what the preacher is telling me,
Passing his plate passed me praying for payments on another jeep.
While our brothers and sisters fall victim to fellonies for survival,
We're building million dollar facilities for revival; listen.
To the gunshots of the father-less children,
Lost in this wildersness, the sound of us dying of ignorance.
Carrying on the tradition of being poverty's prisoners,
Life is the sentence behind fences of strife and contention.
Open your eyes and you'll be looking poverty square,
Open your mind, and realize the poverty's there.

"Life is the sentence behind fences of strife and contention." I like that. The very essence of life is formed by how we think, just as the inception of poverty begins in our minds.
