The Barrios Are Burning

Hey apathetic middle class,
do you smell what I smell?
It's the smell and the sound
of the barrios burning.
If you don't respond
to the haunted cries from the ghetto,
then they will respond with their own answers.
Ones formed in the brutal fire of self survival,
they will answer you with suicide bombers
and your precious suburbs
will run red with your spilt blood.
