Why tell me about It I know all too well <br />That many are living in their Earthly Hell <br />The hungry the homeless the poor and downtrod <br />They must be the children of some Lesser God. <br /> <br />Why tell me about it I know for the have nots life must seem unfair <br />So many grow poorer for every new millionaire <br />The scourge of poverty rife in every Race <br />In a fair Human World this would not be the case. <br /> <br />Even in so called wealthy Nations poverty does abound <br />Not too far from where the rich live the homeless to be found <br />The streets of the poor suburb a breeding ground for crime <br />Where many don't live to enjoy their life's prime. <br /> <br />Why tell me about it of course I'm aware <br />That the poor of the World have never been rare <br />And millions are living in dire poverty <br />In a fair Human World this would never be.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-tell-me-about-it-i-know-all-too-well/
