Shattered Dreams

An economy that is broken,
people in despair.
Do we really have a government
that really truly cares?

Unemployment is at its highest,
people are losing homes.
Families are living on the streets,
and children are home alone.

There's not enough food to eat,
businesses are going broke.
People are living in their cars,
it's getting hard to cope.

A future that's uncertain,
people are feeling scared.
Is it really possible,
that this can be repaired?

I hope and pray every day,
for all of those in need.
Despite our shattered economy,
there’s still hope to succeed.
