Everyone Have Their Own Stories Poem by Francis Duggan

The wealthy and famous and the never do well
Everyone have their own story of life to tell
The president, the billionaire and the refugee
And the homeless who know of extreme poverty
Of life have their own stories but it seems sad to say
As in the past only the stories of the wealthy and famous we hear and read of today
Few born into poverty do live to grow old
And sadly their life stories will never be told
Though they too do have their own stories to tell
Of how life feels for those living in Earthly Hell
So many by circumstance of birth of life's opportunities denied
And the social gap as ever does keep growing wide
And though everyone of life have their stories to tell
Only of the privileged few books are published to sell.
