Far Too Many

Far too many with too little it has always been that way And far too many have to struggle just to live from day to day And far too many children never reach the adult stage And people still dying of hunger in this enlightened age. The majority of the wealth still owned by the privileged few And that money speaks all languages still happen to be true In a so called egalitarian society don't tell me all is fair When so many workers are underpaid and so many on welfare. With the increase in the human population comes the increase in poverty And that for a few to grow wealthy many must grow poor doesn't seem just right to me You make the horse work harder when you threaten him with the rod And to keep the poor living in fear the wealthy invented god A huge increase in poverty as the population grow And that far too many have too little does this have to be so? And far too many on low wages and far too many unemployed And too many far too many in wars and famines have died.
