Earth Crisis
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
