A Sad Thing For To Say

For winners there has to be losers this goes without doubt For billions of people sad to say this is what life is about The poor people who live on the brink of despair Despite what many may tell you life is not always fair For life's many losers life's winners are few You may say to this do tell us what is new In a World of the homeless and the stateless and war and climate refugees Poverty does come in varying degrees Everyone has life choices by some we are told But the majority of those born into poverty as paupers grow old Where many are homeless and financially down Few stories of success from the poor side of the town In a World where the gap between the wealthy and poor grows wider by the day And does this not seem quite a sad thing for to say.
