Wont You Help America---
WON’T YOU HELP AMERICA---
Elderly man bout to fall
Won’t you help him America?
Frail ole lady has no food
No one has a cares nor has a cue
Won’t you help her America?
Homeless and despondent
Have no one that they can trust
Disillusion misplaced and shun
Have nowhere to call home
No monies for room or board society snores
Can’t buy food at any store
All of this while the rich are rich
Middle class poor could care less
They’ve got theirs and you can get yours;
What’s more worst than elderly poor
Won’t you breathe your last breath?
Why don’t you help middle class?
This is no way to act, to treat the elderly
Won’t you help America?
