We Can And Should Do Better
Families broken
Children dying
War vets
On the streets
Are living
While also
Dying
And why
Because those
Who sent them
To war
And those
Who should care
Just don't
Houses
Condemmed
Or reposessed
In which
The poorest
Of the poor
Who would love
To work for something better
Just doesn't have the money
Are arrested
For having nowhere
Else to go
Parents put
In jail
Children taken away
And put in foster care
When it comes to
These people
We could do better
So why don't we
Tell me
My dear country
Is it that we
Are so greedy
That we would rather
Walk away
Without helping
Than their existence
We even bother
To see
