Filthy Hands To Famished Mouths

Third world squalor
Inhuman conditions
Death stalks the have nots
Through deprivation

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
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
