Compared To Many People Poem by Francis Duggan

Compared to many people my life is not tough
I am one of those who has been lucky enough
To have a home to live in and enough food to eat
I am never short of vegetables or fish, bread or meat
So many poor people do sleep rough at night
And life every day for them an uphill fight
And though i am not financially well off i feel privileged indeed
As of any of life's comforts i am not in need
I am lucky and better off than so many are
Even can afford to drive in a second hand car
In the World so many dying of malnutrition and so many refugees
Even poverty does come of varying degrees
Compared to many people i do quite okay
I am one who has not known of a hungry day.
