America's Neglected Needs
In cities gleaming, where dies are cast,
Where wealth and want meet hand in hand,
Forgotten dreams and futures past,
In this, our proud and troubled land.
Hungry hearts and empty streets,
Echo voices long unheard,
Promises broken, incomplete,
Justice whispers, seldom stirred.
Oh, land of hope, can you not see?
Your strength lies in our unity.
