Lockdown Kills the Poor

Lockdown kills the poor
The world is changing 
Who got eyes let them see 
The poor is slowly dying
Their pains are unbearable 
It use to be hard to survive 
But now is harder than 
It use to be 
How can the poor be 
this more poorer 
Alot of job lost 
Alot of income chattered
It like a systematic warfare 
And it silence kills more 
Than the virus 

Lockdown kills the poor 
How can you lock a hungry man down
Without a basic necessities
How could the third world feeds 
It own in this era 
Before this time 
Somany can't feed in the third world
Somany are out of job 
Somany are out of the balance 
Of life 
And now never bring no good 
Instead it bleeds the opposite
It so sad when the poor is locked
With out no help
An African youth once said 
And I quote 
Richard the hunger virus 
Kills us more than the covid
