Lest of all the rights as citizens of the U,S, of A.

The Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness

Teen Citizens

Lack of Education

Leads to Street Corners

Imprisonment, drugs, prostitution, gangbanger, death

Teen parents, which starts the whole circle again

Budget Cuts cutting Us!

Senior Citizens

Retired , hapless trusted in their retirement fund, gone

Medicine, Food, or Shelter?

No choice, but to ditch one, how can they

Cutting Us, to the Bone!

Disable d Citizens

Mental and Physical

Programs canceled, a carrot dangled

Homelessness , streets, death

We are being denied all humane rights

We are being denied power to the people

What we are not being denied is a Bigger Police Force

More Big Bosses, with more Political Power

Bigger and bigger , prisons, jailhouse, and juvenile halls

We the people protest this "War against Poverty

We are citizens!

Teen, Senior, Poor, and Disabled!
