Francis Duggan - Rich And Poor

2014-11-07 67 Dailymotion

The gap between the rich and poor expanding getting bigger by the day <br />But in a fair and just society things would never be this way <br />Those born into a poor family are forsaken by the gods <br />And if they wish to be successful they must fight against all odds. <br /> <br />In the slum parts of the city you will only see decay <br />Homes and gardens looking shabby everything look old and gray <br />Ninety per cent live off welfare and those with jobs work for low pay <br />And all would choose to be born elsewhere if in their births they had a say. <br /> <br />In the yuppies part of the city things are very different there <br />Brand new homes and well kept gardens, new cars they drive and new suits they wear <br />Children of affluent parents and advantaged from the start <br />The slum end only three miles distant seems a continent apart. <br /> <br />Life is hard and never easy for those from the slum parts of town <br />And it is hard to be successful with others trying to drag you down <br />Most employers do not want to know you your address your enemy <br />But do not count yourself a failure if you are born into poverty. <br /> <br />The gap between the rich and poor expanding getting bigger by the day <br />But in a fair and just society things would never be this way <br />Those who speak that all are equal in god's eyes are talking rot <br />For the people of the slum parts it would seem by god forgot.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rich-and-poor/
