Changes


Weak children starving in the street,

Where is there food for them?

Parents letting their children get beat,

Where is there safety for them?

 

Sons and brothers lying dead on the battlefield,

Where is the future for them?

Families living off of unemployment checks,

Where are the jobs for them?

 

Stop the starvation,

Start the feeding.

Start the protection,

Stop the beating.

 

Stop the fighting,

Start the peace.

Start the hiring,

Let this cease.
