Success To Them Poem by Francis Duggan

Life is what you make of it some are known to say
But for everyone it is not this way
Many living today does stand little chance
Of knowing of success due to birth circumstance
Born to poor parents on the poor side of the town
For them far too steep a cuccesslimb to wealth and renown
Condemned by birth in life for to fail
Many of them die young or grow old in jail
They are the people who are destined to lose
To be born into poverty anyone would not choose
The poorest of the town in life are always struggling to cope
Poverty is known to strip people of hope
Many poor people to mid life does not survive
Success to them is just to be alive.
