Life has it's ups and downs you lose and you win <br />And is there one amongst us not guilty of sin? <br />And greed now in every Land and every place <br />Of the World we inhabit we've made a rat race. <br /> <br />Greed has spread around the World from north to southern shore <br />For we are living in the age by some known as much wants more <br />Due to the destruction of their habitat species of birds and animals become extinct every day <br />And extinction is is forever as conservationists always say. <br /> <br />Rich people have a big home and backyard swimming pool and two new cars some own three <br />A big fishing boat and a condominium by the sea <br />To own more than one home the privileged see as quite okay <br />Money does speak every language and 'tis always been that way. <br /> <br />The gap between the rich and the poor is increasing World-wide <br />And the wealthy have the advantage of money on their side <br />That all people are equal is a blatant lie <br />'Tis only poor people of the hunger who die. <br /> <br />Greed and corruption is not now a stranger in any place <br />We've made out of the World a Human rat race <br />For many more than enough is not quite good enough <br />Whilst millions are homeless and they have to sleep rough<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-human-rat-race/
