Widening By The Day

The gap between the wealthy and poor is widening by the day And this in itself seems a sad thing to say The majority of the wealth of the World controlled by the super wealthy few Though this to you surely is not anything new In a Human World where millions of people are living in extreme poverty That some are so wealthy seems all wrong to me Yet these are the people so many look up to and admire Since to be like them they have a burning desire So many poor people Worldwide are doing it tough Millions are hungry, homeless and stateless, living and sleeping rough Whilst many are without food and shelter as victims of the social divide On the so called achievements of the super wealthy i cannot see any reason for pride To be hungry and homeless and stateless is something anyone does not choose In a Human World where for one to win big so many have to lose This ever widening social gap does seem all wrong to me For millions of poor people how sad life must be.
