'Life wasn't meant to be easy' a quote from George Bernard Shaw <br />But from that familiar saying your own conclusion you draw <br />Those words maybe for the masses for those who drudge on and then die <br />But life wasn't meant to be easy to everyone does not apply. <br /> <br />Not to the children of royalty or to the privileged few <br />Those who have only known good times and hardships have never been through <br />Life for them meant to be easy lean times they cannot recall <br />And life wasn't meant to be easy is not for one and for all. <br /> <br />When he was Prime Minister of Australia back there in his glory day <br />'Life wasn't meant to be easy' Malcolm Fraser used to say <br />But perhaps he ought to have said instead 'feel glad just to be alive' <br />To poor families on low incomes who struggled just to survive. <br /> <br />Life wasn't meant to be easy those words will always apply <br />To the many on low incomes who suffer through life and die <br />But not to the children of royalty or to the privileged few <br />'Life wasn't meant to be easy' those words were not meant for you.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/life-wasn-t-meant-to-be-easy/
