Give food, water and help to the poor,
so they do not beg from door to door.
Money of the rich knows no end,
whereas the poor have no money to expend.
No food, no clothes, no sympathy for them,
and used as baits in political game.
Our leaders are telling a very old tale,
and have made this world a living hell.
Thanks! Thanks for what they have done;
they show their power by holding a gun.
Not really so an ironical fact,
the politicians have their back intact.
Politicians! Not a single honest man!
Are there really? Show me if you can...
Poor's bodies are stairs of success,
and they are vanished without a trace.
A pity this is not what it should have been,
their hands are soaked in blood and sin.
Fine leather bags if you have seen,
made from the poor man's skin.
