Without

To do without,
By word of mouth is to have little or some but small,
Where I'm from to do without means we have none at all,
To say the least just a little piece,
Became feast even though it was quite small ,
Noone complained or said a thing,
That's just life,
Cause that's all we saw,
Poverty cloud the streets,
For miles,
Not safe at all,
Business leave,
Then job decrease,
now the streets they must evolve,
Do you trust the hand that wrote the plan,
The government is what there called,
Politicians Suberbia living,
Got butlers and maids on call,
To fix the streets they never seen,
And! crime runs it all,
But we was never scared,
When sirens blarred,
Gun shots was always involved,
Just had to hope it wasn't your folks,
