Short Changed
Bonds are breaking cold
Upon the heart is all wealth
Nothing left but self
Secure in our fear
Violence has no heart left
Progress stumbles here
None depend again
Has love depended before
I have only me
The school of want gone
What can I learn without love
But hunger again
Guns without ears laugh
Machines without heart embraced
Victims of progress
