No fault of your own

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)

Rhymed
Witness people become homeless
Elders experiencing crime
The defenseless are powerless
When the wealthy overcome them in time

Situations in life are unpredictable
One day on top then the bottom
Due to no fault of your own you're susceptible
To forces deciding your final outcome
