Life Is Tough For Many

Life is tough for many in the big World out there The homeless and hungry have never been rare Too many far too many of malnutrition dying or have died And the gap between the haves and the have nots keeps growing ever wide. Without a place to call home to and without food to eat So many live hungry on Poverty Street They sleep on a park bench or disused factory doorway And few of them will live on to grow old and gray. Your problems in life to their's do seem quite small And do not judge them harshly or why judge them at all Since our gift of life does come only by chance And you've been more fortunate than most in your birth circumstance. One fact applies to us all and facts never lie That we are mere mortals and born to die But in a Human World where many grow poorer for every new millionaire For the poor and the homeless life does seem unfair.
