To Be Lacking In Money Poem by Francis Duggan

To be lacking in money will never be the in thing
The praises of the poor the masses never do sing
A billionaire is one you never will meet
On the grimy sidewalks of Poverty Street

So many poor people in life doing it tough
Hungry and homeless living and sleeping rough
A thousand grow poorer for every new millionaire
The poor of the World as ever not rare

For many money and fame is what life is about
And the financially down sad to say counted out
Only a compassionate minority help those in need of helping without asking for pay
And this seems a very sad thing for to say

In a Human World of winners and losers the winners take the lions share
And most of the wealthy minority of their own needs only aware
In the twenty first century poor people to be found almost everywhere
There are billions of them in the big World out there.
