POOR MAN CRY
(Lascelle Bulgin)

Everyday you hear the same cry. It’s no use for you to Wonder why. / Poor man feels it everyday. Hear me when I say. / Poor man feels it everyway. Some even go astray. / You can see them in the streets everyday. / You can see them in the Streets at night. / Looking for a bite. Although that seem to be alright. / They are always in your sight. / Trying to overcome the fight. / No one wants to be living in poverty. / Often time it happens to the poorer class you see. / Poor man cry. You can hear it so high. / They feel it night and day. Hear me when I say. / Everyday you hear the same thing. / Some of them bow so low. / Sometimes, they don’t know where to go. / Poor man cry. You can hear it so high. / See them die. Everyday. / Poor man cry is the rich man’s joy. / Where the rich play, that’s the poor man’s end. / Poor man cry. See them die. Give a helping. / See them die. Everyday.
