'I ain't got no father, ain't got no mother'

This is a classic song not for what you don’t have but for what you have and how you can use it for those who have nothing to create the community with a humane aspect.

These are the lyrics:

Ain’t got no home, ain’t got no shoes

Ain’t got no money, ain’t got no class

Ain’t got no friends, ain’t got no schooling

Ain’t got no work, ain’t got no job

Ain’t got no money, no place to stay

Ain’t got no father, ain’t got no mother

Ain’t got no children, a’int got no sisters or brothers

Ain’t got no earth, ain’t got no faith

Ain’t got no touch, ain’t got no god,

Ain’t got no love

Ain’t got no wine, no cigarettes

No clothes, no country

No class, no schooling

No friends, no nothing

A’int no god, ain't got one more

Ain’t got no earth, no water

no food, no home

I said I ain’t got no clothes, no job

No nothing, ain’t got long to live

And I ain’t got no love

But what have I got

What have I got

Let me tell you what I’ve got

That nobody’s gonna take away

Unless I wanna

I’ve got my hair on my head

My brains, my ears

My eyes, my nose

And my mouth, I got my smile

I my tongue, my chin

My neck, my boobies

My heart, my soul

And my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, my hands, my fingers,

My legs, my feet, my toes,

And my liver, got my blood

I got life, I’ve got laughs, I’ve got headaches,

And toothaches and bad times too like you

I got my hair on my head

My brains, my ears

My eyes, my nose

And my mouth, I got my smile and it’s my smile

I got my tongue, my chin

My neck, and my boobies

My heart, my soul

And my back, I got my sex

I got my arms, my hands, my fingers,

My legs, my feet, my toes,

And my liver, got my blood

I got life, I’ve got my feet up

And my heart

I got life

Nothing changes for the deprived while the well-oiled machinations of politics dictates their destiny. Without struggling for these hapless souls who have no options, what are we blessed with?

We, collectively, can only be the change if we choose to be so.
