In A Fair World

I cannot empathize with the poor since I'm not in poverty And I can only imagine how miserable life must be For those who go to sleep hungry they live with death each day In a fair World this would not be it would be fair to say. In a fair World this would not be but all in life's not fair And thousands are in poverty for every millionaire In third World Countries every year millions of hunger die The crops don't grow in rain starved lands, the parched earth far too dry. In a fair World there would be enough food to go around And not one hungry person in the whole World to be found But there is only hunger where poverty reside And the gap between the haves and have nots has never been so wide. In a fair World there would not be want and need and very little crime But the social gap keeps widening despite the march of time And I who have never lived in the slums or in a third World Land What it feels like to be really poor could never understand.
