Idle Hands

Standing at the train station thousands of people around a father arguing with his child the child had joined a gang He hoped to take her home but with fifty kids in the gang he had no hope the child was lost never to see a future kids without jobs join together as groups those groups become gangs somebody introduces drugs drugs cost money home invasions provide the money for drugs the child is lost to violence and pain society becomes riddled with violence and pain give the child a job they save to build a home they meet and fall in love they build a future together the child becomes a man the man becomes a father the path to success comes on the back bone of hard work your future is up to you. Investing together we can build the jobs that change the life of our children we can make the future that brings peace to our city's we can make a future that brings peace to our world If every man and woman refused to pick up a gun there could be no more wars the world would be at peace. It everybody invested in creating company's there would be jobs for all the people we could overcome poverty
