Analysis of Bleak
Their future is bleak
Some going to be crook
Some will be freak
Their language is filthy
Bodies are weak
Gathering the crap
Sleeping on a street
Division persist
Outlasting the cry for rights
No matter black or white
Rights are denied
Filling their stomachs
With our leftover food
Clothes are dismal
Words from us are rude
Justice is luxury
They are not allowed to buy
Cruelty is a packet of gift
Which we all happily provide
Their timeless pain always extend
So do their hands asking for a penny to lend !
