That millions do live in poverty should never be seen as okay <br />The gap between the haves and the have nots keeps getting bigger by the day <br />Everyone should have the chance to live happy a home to live in and enough for to eat <br />There never should be slums and ghettos and never a poverty street, <br />That millions are born to live in poverty and to end their hard lives in despair <br />Only tells us if there's a god that god favours the wealthy and that god is not very fair <br />To leave millions homeless and dying of malnutrition the people condemned to die poor and young <br />In the refugee camps of the World live the displaced, the poor and unsung, <br />In the age of celebrity worship the poor in millions multiply <br />Why millions are destined to be poor don't ask me I wouldn't know why <br />Even in the World's wealthiest Countries poor people are no longer rare <br />And millions and millions of have nots in the bigger World out there <br />And millions are dying of hunger and millions are doing it tough <br />And millions are displaced and homeless and as refugees living it rough.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/that-millions-do-live-in-poverty/
