The Common People

The common people includes you and me We are told who we are and what we should be And on how that we ought to be classified By those at the top of the social divide We are the people supposed not to dream Never to be on the successful team For some to win big we had to lose out This is what human life seems all about Always the strangers to wealth and renown Our sort are the unsung of every town Other people's losses has not been our gain Though our dreams of self betterment we do retain We do have a vote on election day But after this on running the Country do not have a say Like the rose tree that has failed for to flower We never will hold positions of power As the common people we well may be known But we are individuals with dreams of our own And those who feel better than us like us born to die A mere fact of our existence and fact never lie.
