Of The Lesser God Poem by Francis Duggan

The unwashed, ignored and the socially down-trod
Born to life as the children of the lesser god
The homeless the stateless and the refugees
As is said of poverty it does come of varying degrees
The people that few wish to know of or of care
And sadly their sort in the World are not rare
It is a sad thought of for to be aware
That there are millions of poor people for every millionaire
Poor people by autocratic juntas oppressed
The victims of famines and the dispossessed
And those born to life on the poor side of the town
For them such a hard climb to wealth and renown
The children of the lesser god are not of the few
And this is not saying anything that is new.
