Where Is the Money

Where is the money for the poor There is enough to for war When the rich go to war The poor are the ones that suffer Where is the money for education Teachers work with what is given Children raise money to keep programs alive Where is the money for rehabilitation Many see incarceration and learn nothing Vocations have been taken away When they return to their streets, what are they to do Where is the money for health care Many are afraid of becoming sick Hospitals charge too much The weight upon the poor crushes them Where is the money for employment Jobs go overseas The rich increase their profits At home the poor face foreclosure and go without food Where is the money to keep children out of gangs None bother to try to gaze within the future But there is money to incarcerate them Creating a cycle of that never ends Where is money to change the world To make a better future the rich pocket our future Where is the money to use green energy Big oil spend money to prevent it Where is money Where is the money
