Everyone For Themselves

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