I Have Been Quite Lucky Indeed

A warm bed to sleep in and three meals a day I cannot complain life with me is okay Many homeless people sleeping on park benches tonight Life for them one can say is far from all right It is not their choice to be homeless despite what some think or say They did not choose for to live in this way In so called wealthy Nations millions in poverty No advantage to them in capitalism and democracy In a World where money only matters the losers are compassion and empathy Far too few who feel compassion for others in the Human World of the twenty first century I have never been homeless or been a refugee Compared to many i am lucky this is how it seems to me With a house to live in and enough food for to eat what more does one need I have always been lucky quite lucky indeed.
