In the alleys where whispers echo low,
A child cries for dreams they’ll never know,
Faces hidden in the crowd’s cold flow,
Invisible souls where hope won’t grow.

The streets are paved with broken dreams,
Silent screams beneath the moon’s beams,
Hunger gnaws through the fraying seams,
Of a world tearing apart at the seems.

Greed and power rule the land,
Justice slips through our fingers like sand,
We stand divided, hand in hand,
Yet unity’s call we misunderstand.

In the heart of the city, shadows play,
Lives neglected, cast away,
But in the darkness, there’s a way,
For light to break and hope to stay.
