In a Human World where many grow poorer for one to become a millionaire <br />Who can blame the forgotten have nots for thinking that life is unfair <br />The homeless poor of the big city to survive have to battle the odds <br />Many of them die in their twenties the children of the lesser gods, <br />The children of disadvantaged parents for them no such a thing as a fair go <br />A good home and a good education of such things they never will know <br />Compared to them I feel so lucky one might say a fortunate man <br />I have never been hungry or homeless at anytime in my life span <br />For the wealthy to grow wealthier the poor must grow poorer in a fair Human World this would not be <br />Far too many are disadvantaged and condemned to live in poverty <br />Even in the so called wealthy Nations the hidden poverty is rife <br />By circumstance of birth far too many are condemned to a miserable life <br />'Tis true enough we are mere mortals and to the scythe of the Reaper we fall <br />But in a Human World where many grow poorer no such a thing as a fair go for all.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-a-human-world-where-many-grow-poorer/
