Hear you not the pulse of man?
Hear you not the pulse of man?
Beat beat beat as the armies march
Cough cough cough as the sick suffer
Bang bang bang
Another man dead
Boom boom boom
Another city annihilated
Please please please
Another beggar starves
Ring ring ring
Another wife breaking inside
Sob sob sob
Another child homeless
Crack crack crack
Another slave bleeding
Beep beep beep
Another lying comatose
Oh why oh why oh why
Another mother cries tonight over unborn life
Glug glug glug
Just another drunk
Screech screech screech
Just a car
Just a family
Just our world

Honestly, I found it a little corny. However in some places the 3-word repetiton actually produces a great effect.
And while "beggars" don't really exsist today, I feel like its easy to get the jist of what your saying. It just seems like it has a lot of potential but you fell short by using cliches such as "sick suffer" and "another wife breaking inside" and even the ending "car/familyworld".
However it started really strong. I really like the title and how it opens with the same words. I just it fell short of what it could have been.
