Everyone for themselves and God for us all <br />A saying from my younger years that I recall <br />In the twenty first century with some 'tis that way <br />Old habits die hard as some are known to say <br />Even if you are compassionate, generous and kind <br />The knockers in you some fault are bound to find <br />By their type any credit to you is denied <br />They think by your good deeds some guilt you do hide <br />Far too many in famines and in wars have died <br />And between the haves and the have nots the gap keeps growing wide <br />Thousands are in poverty for every millionaire <br />For the billions of have nots life doesn't seem fair <br />And that saying from my younger years I can recall <br />Everyone for themselves and God for us all.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/everyone-for-themselves/
