Idol land makes for hunger By Simonne Liberty.

What is wrong with mankind today

political ideas are run astray

self centered desire for greed

Deny’s the poor of basic human needs

many reach for a goal of popularity

of being a star to become wealthy

the poor are viewed as a hopeless class

social parasites huddled in mass

the rich ignore the real value of land

while the poor can’t understand

why the rich build projects for fortune

then look for answers on the moon

when the answer is right under their feet

causing the poor to live on the streets

hunger will never be stilled

as long as the land cry’s to be tilled

if food production were top priority

no one on earth would ever go hungry.
