Shortchanged Lives

I grew up in Africa shortchanged, 
Wealth exchanged by coins, 
Cows killed remained unchanged, 
"School fees for everyone that joins."

Unreturned investments from people,
Too much to give, ended up in deficit,
"Poor investments", businesspeople,  
Still giving when nothing is definite. 

Cars can be changed like shoes, 
Clothes can be changed like coins, 
Houses making headlines in the news, 
Kids showing kindness by collecting cans. 

Silence becomes a friend to the owed,
People fight for their return until they are tired, 
They give much and remain with a heavy load, 
Troubling inflation with people hardly hired. 

Real change begins with a good heart, 
That's the only place that really matters,
Change your heart, change your life if you're smart, 
Changed hearts = real people not actors. 

If life has made you bitter, 
If hurts have made you hard, 
Clean your heart and make it sweeter, 
A clean heart is your life's best guard. 

If you have been shortchanged, 
If you have invested more than you got back, 
If your storms remained unchanged, 
You're about to get more than you've ever invested back.  

Shortchanged Lives.
