" The poverty is not created by the poor, she is created by the institutions and politics that surround them ".      (Muhammad Yunus)
this song i wrote and posted in 2012, this is a new version 2024 rec. because the subject still is applicable, RW

he's a gravedigger beneath the moonlight.. and shades
looking at his skull lying there beside a iron blade
for to feed his family, billy he started to steal
and i tell you it brought him up to a dirty county jail
the banker got no feeling for the beggar down the street
for him there's only milk and honey and champagne in his life to make another soul bleed
and there's only one reason for the poor and that is to fight
for the capital is a rising, rising... day after night

some riding caddilacs others rolling down the line
but the train will be coming soon for the working man
revolution its on his way and i tell you that time is just a prey
and the wounded hands of the poor will STOP... digging his grave

you know the money is a rising on the stock market of iron minds
some called it depression on the worlds largest shrine
but there's a child begging down the street just begging for a dime
on the street of oblivion and the wolfs cries
lord if you exist tell me will there be salvation!
and will the slave of time erase his past
for the working man he built up this nation
on the sweat coming from his forefather's breath...
