not on the winning team




not on
the winning team

Have you
ever seen
the eyes
of a decimated dream?

not on
the winning team.

have you
ever seen the eyes
a desperate pregnant teen?

not on
the winning team

or

-entire villages burnt to the ground
-factory floors now without a sound

-classrooms where nobody learns
-the poor bent over while the elite take turns

or

-minimum wage so down on its luck
-sweat shop laborers worse than stuck

-votes that never seem to add up
-public transportation seems always to be stuck

not on the winning team
