So Said George Bernard Shaw Poem by Francis Duggan

Life's not meant to be easy as George Bernard Shaw used to say
Though for many 'tis so for some 'tis not that way
To those born to very wealthy parents such words do not apply
That your circumstance of birth plays a huge part in your life none ought to deny
The child born to poverty stricken parents has a tough life ahead
That life is not meant to be easy for him or for her can surely be said
But the son or the daughter born to the billionaire
Of financial hardship will never be aware
But in cities and towns and villages every-where
And for billions of people in the big World out there
That life's not meant to be easy seems so very true
A fair go in life sad to say not their due
Life's not meant to be easy so said George Bernard Shaw
But for millions of poor souls it is Murphy's Law.
